Jeremy Field: Consultant Orthopaedic and Hand Surgeon, Gloucestershire

Mr Jeremy Field is a Consultant Orthopaedic and Hand surgeon in Gloucestershire, offering procedures in all areas of hand surgery including wrist fractures, fractures of the forearm, arthritis of the hand and wrist, joint fusions, joint replacement in the hand, treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, and Dupuytren's disease.

Jeremy Field BSc ChM FRCS FRCS(Orth) is a Consultant Orthopaedic and Hand surgeon. He has an extensive practice in Gloucestershire and 90% of his work is hand surgery. This involves both trauma (broken fingers/wrists and tendon and nerve repairs) and non-emergency work, treating conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, Dupuytrens treatment and arthritis in the hand.

Mr Field has a very strong academic background and maintains a keen research interest. 90% of his surgery is hand surgery and the remainder is general orthopaedics. His particular interests are Dupuytren's disease and arthritis and consequently joint replacement in the hand. He also has a large medicolegal hand practice acting as an expert witness in hand related personal injury and medical negligence cases. Mr Field submits a paper in a peer-reviewed journal approximately once a year.

Mr Field qualified in London and took an senior house officer (SHO) post there before moving to Southampton to become a general surgical registrar. He followed this with plastic surgery in Cambridge for six months where he developed an interest in hand surgery and was appointed to an orthopaedic registrar position in Bristol. It was there that he wrote his thesis in algodystrophy (CRPS or complex regional pain syndrome type 1) for his Master of Surgery degree.

Mr Field later moved to Sydney, Australia where he did a hand fellowship for a year. He worked at Sydney Hospital and St Lukes Hospital where he had the opportunity to perform all aspects of hand surgery particularly scaphoid fractures. He gained huge experience working for Professor Bruce Connolly and Tim Herbert and this reinforced his decision to pursue a career in hand surgery.

On his return to Bristol, Mr Field completed his registrar training, writing various papers on Colles fractures, Darrach’s procedure, and algodystrophy.

Mr Field was appointed as an orthopaedic college examiner in 2004 and currently holds an NHS post at Cheltenham General Hospital where he has been since 1996.
