An opportunity has arisen to recruit an experienced Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist to join our Hand Therapy team.  The team is a part of the Integrated Musculoskeletal Service (iMSK), incorporating Orthopaedics, Chronic Pain, Rheumatology and MSK therapy for the population of North West Surrey.

The Hand Therapy team currently delivers a service at Ashford Hospital working closely with support from orthopedic surgeons and Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACPs), in assessing and managing a range of acquired and traumatic hand and wrist injuries/conditions. These include Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, De Quervains, OA/RA, wrist and finger fractures, RSI/Tendonitis, and any post-surgical rehab/complications.
