Dr David Bradshaw is a Sydney-trained specialist orthopaedic surgeon with advanced training in hand and wrist surgery.
After completing his medical degree with Honours at the University of Sydney, Dr David Bradshaw completed his specialist orthopaedic training through the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and the Australian Orthopaedic Association.
Dr Bradshaw then completed further advanced training in hand, wrist and peripheral microsurgery through highly-specialised hand surgery centres, including as the Fellow at the St Luke’s and Sydney Hospital Hand Units, and South Western Sydney Hand Centre. David completed then his microsurgery certificate course through National University Hospital, Singapore. He holds formal qualifications in hand surgery through the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and Australian Hand Surgery Society’s post-fellowship education and training program in hand surgery.
Dr Bradshaw aims to provide high-level, accessible and timely expertise to the Greater Sydney and Central Coast regions. He is a consultant hand and microsurgeon in the South Western Sydney Hand Centre, a major tertiary-referral metropolitan hand unit, where he performs major and complex reconstructive procedures for severe hand injuries. His comprehensive Central Coast Orthopaedics practice covers both hand surgery and broader orthopaedic surgery, such as hip and knee replacement surgery.
Dr Bradshaw’s specialised area of interest is hand and wrist surgery, including microsurgery and arthroscopy, with a focus on minimally-invasive techniques such as endoscopic carpal tunnel release surgery to potentiate rapid recovery after surgery.
Workplace injuries can be complex, and Dr Bradshaw has a strong interest in the coordinated treatment of injured workers. He works in collaboration with general practitioners, therapists, workplace rehabilitation coordinators, and other team members, to help return patients to work and maximal function safely and as soon as possible. Prior to his medical career he was a qualified physiotherapist, giving him a broad understanding of the issues involved in successful rehabilitation after injury.
