Alistair Phillips - Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon

I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Hand and Trauma Surgeon working in Southampton, UK. I work at the Major Trauma Centre and sub-specialise in problems with the hand, wrist and elbow. 

I am Lead Consultant for Major Trauma Education at University Hospital Southampton and am always trying to innovate and make what we do and how we work more efficient, simpler and safer with more reproducible outcomes for patients. Above everything else, my first love is the use of Local Anaesthetics. I lecture internationally on the subject and contributed to the book (Wide Awake Hand Surgery).

I have won several prizes for my educational videos and also set up and run a global charity about local anaesthetics (Walant.Surgery). I love it so much that when I needed hand surgery I had it done under local and filmed it myself! I now use that video as an example of what can be achieved with this technique.
