The British Society for Surgery of the Hand exists to "promote and direct the development of Hand Surgery, to foster and co-ordinate education, study and research in Hand Surgery, and to disseminate knowledge of Hand Surgery among members of the medical and allied health professions."[1]
History
The society was formed as the Hand Club in 1952 at the instigation of the plastic surgeon Patrick Clarkson.[2]
Activities
It was recognised as an institution that provides education and training in its field.[3][4]
With the University of Manchester, it runs a postgraduate certification in hand surgery.[5]
It has funded a INDICATE Pilot Study, to investigate whether a steroid injection given in the first instance has a better outcome than performing surgery for people with moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.[6]
The Society has collaborated with the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA), to advise the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE), on the best management of distal radial fracture's.[7]
The society produces a peer-reviewed academic journal, The Journal of Hand Surgery, jointly with the Federation of European Societies for Surgery of the Hand.
