Professional statement
Miss Sally-Anne Phillips is a leading trauma and consultant surgeon based in Stirling who specialises exclusively in hand and wrist surgery for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytren’s disease, trigger finger, hand and wrist sport injuries, and arthritis of the hand and wrist. She has particular expertise in arthroplasty hand surgery and is also qualified to perform medicolegal work. Alongside her NHS work at Monklands and Wishaw Hospitals, Miss Phillips currently sees patients at Kings Park Hospital.
Miss Phillips qualified from University College London in 2001 and undertook her basic surgical and orthopaedic training in London, Plymouth, Dunfermline and Edinburgh, where she worked at the prestigious Edinburgh Orthopaedic Unit. She became a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 2015 and completed an observational hand fellowship in Boston, USA that same year.
Miss Phillips was awarded the prestigious Training Interface Group fellowship in hand surgery a year later, practising with hand specialists in Newcastle Upon Tyne, before going on to obtain her Diploma in Hand Surgery in 2020. This certification, awarded by The British Society for Surgery of the Hand in partnership with the University of Manchester covers the whole length of hand surgery, recognising practical knowledge and excellent quality.
Currently, Miss Phillips is one of the very few surgeons performing incisionless carpal tunnel decompression, as well as carpometacarpal joint replacement surgery. You can read a case study here of a successfully performed carpometacarpal joint replacement by Miss Phillips.
Further to her highly-specialised surgical practice, Miss Phillips is closely involved in clinical research and medical education. She holds an MD from the University of Edinburgh and is the author of various papers and abstracts published in peer-reviewed journals. Between 2019 and 2022, she also served as a primary investigator for the DISC trial, a multi-centred study on the comparison between collagenase injections and surgical fasciectomy for Dupuytren’s contracture.
With a passion for complex hand anatomy and bespoke treatment, Miss Phillips believes in a detailed patient-centred approach to improve and achieve the utmost hand function after surgery.
