We provide a full range of emergency hand injury services including non-surgical and surgical treatments and hand therapy.

The specialist service covers a large area to the west of London. We take referrals from hospitals, minor injury units and GPs.

If you injure your hand, check whether you can self-care or need to visit hospital. NHS 111 can provide advice. 

If you need emergency treatment, visit your local minor injury unit or emergency department. If needed, they will refer you to our specialist hand service.
