About
After completing his medical degree at the University of Dundee, Mr Harrison embarked on specialist orthopaedic surgical training in Yorkshire. He was awarded a fellowship in trauma and orthopaedic surgery in 2017 by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Following this, he completed two years of specialist hand and wrist fellowships—initially in Teesside, UK, and subsequently at Middlemore Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand. His hand surgery training was delivered by surgeons from both orthopaedic and plastic surgery backgrounds, allowing him to learn techniques from both disciplines.
Upon completion of these fellowships, Mr Harrison was appointed as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon in NHS Fife in 2019, where he specialises in adult hand and wrist conditions.
His surgical practice includes the treatment of elective hand and wrist conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger digit, and Dupuytren’s disease. He also manages hand and wrist trauma, as well as complications related to trauma. He works closely with a team of professional colleagues to provide patients with a comprehensive and focused experience.
In his NHS role, Mr Harrison is actively involved in the training of higher surgical trainees and has taught on several courses related to hand and wrist surgery. He regularly attends the congresses of the British and European Hand Surgical Societies.
