About

Mr Alistair Phillips exclusively specialises in treatment of hand, wrist and elbow conditions, and has a special interest in the use of local anaesthetics. Mr Phillips performs many surgeries under local anaesthetics that would traditionally have been undertaken using a tourniquet and/or a general anaesthetic, and is now concentrating on this technique as he has seen firsthand the various benefits to patients.

His empathy for patients is obvious from the first meeting, and he has specifically designed his pathways to place the patient at the centre of his care. This includes reducing unnecessary appointments, performing local anaesthetics injections almost painlessly, only operating when absolutely necessary and providing as much information as possible before, during (as patients are awake, and alert) and after surgery to keep patients as educated and involved in their own care as possible.

He is the co-founder and chairman of a charitable website that seeks to educate surgeons from all over the world about this technique – Wide Awake Local Anaesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT). He has lectured internationally on the subject, and was invited to speak at the combined Belgian and Dutch Hand Societies meeting in March 2019, and also to be faculty at the inaugural WALANT course in the UK, in Wrightington, in May 2021.
