About
Professor Holly Morris graduated from the University of Leicester in 2008 with Honours. Holly completed her foundation years training in the United Kingdom. Following this, she ventured to New Zealand where she spent several years working across a range of surgical specialities.
Holly returned to the United Kingdom and completed her Higher Specialist Training in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery in the East Midlands, graduating in 2023. During this time, she trained in hand and wrist surgery under the supervision of Professor Joe Dias and in the Pulvertaft Hand Centre.
Following training, Holly completed a
further attachment in the Pulvertaft Hand Centre before completing a Hand and
Microsurgery Fellowship in the Auckland Reconstructive, Plastic and Hand
Unit. During this time abroad, she
furthered her skills in all areas of hand and wrist surgery. She
undertook a short-term consultant post in Auckland following her fellowship.
Holly was awarded both the
prestigious BSSH Stack Travelling Fellowship and Newton Travelling Fellowship
to develop her interest in paediatric and congenital
hand and wrist surgery.
With these awards, Holly visited Stanford Medicine (California) and
Washington University (St Louis) in the United States, North Shore Hospital (Sydney) and the Royal Children’s Hospital
(Melbourne) in Australia and the Dr Paul Brand Centre for Hand Surgery in
Vellore, India.
Due to the specialist nature
of this branch of orthopaedic surgery, Holly now confines her practice to
hand and wrist surgery. Holly was appointed as a Consultant Hand and Wrist Surgeon in 2025 in
the Pulvertaft Hand Centre, where she treats
both adults and children. Holly has a special interest in the
management of congenital hand differences, paediatric hand and wrist
pathology and spasticity. With a strong commitment to excellence, Holly offers specialised
treatment for hand and wrist conditions, ensuring the highest standards of
patient care.
