Lumps and bumps may present anywhere in the hand and wrist. The vast majority entirely harmless. Many of these lumps are referred to as tumours – a word which many people associate with cancer.

As an Emergency Department Consultant I also supervise a large multi-disciplinary team working in one of the busiest areas of our trust.
