Hamish graduated from La Trobe University with a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy in 1995. After graduating, he worked in New York, qualifying as a CHT in 2001. Returning to Australia in 2002, Hamish began his own private hand therapy practice, whilst still working in the public hospital system up until 2009. Along with managing his private practice, much of Hamish's clinical time now focuses on the management of sporting injuries to the upper limb. He is the resident hand therapist for the Hawthorn Football Club, and the Melbourne Rebels Rugby Union Club, as well as being the hand and upper-limb research co-ordinator for Mr. Greg Hoy, orthopedic surgeon. He was recently asked to co-author the chapters on the hand and the wrist in the forthcoming edition of Brukner and Khan's "Clinical Sports Medicine" book. Hamish is an active member of the AHTA, the International Society for Sports Traumatology of the Hand, and writes a blog called "Sporting Hands". Unfortunately, in spite of his profound interest in all things sporting, he remains hopeless in every athletic endeavour he attempts.
