Giant of Hand Surgery
Mr Muir was honoured and humbled to be recognised as a “Giant of Hand Surgery” at the FESSH Opening Ceremony in Rotterdam on Wednesday 26 June. These were the first such awards and Mr Muir is therefore the first surgeon from the BSSH to be thus honoured.
Mr Muir recognises that many achievements are possible only with the support of the team and thanks all of the inspiring colleagues, senior and junior, that he has worked with and who have inspired him. He also thanks Mrs Muir for all her support over the years. He could not have done it without her.
