Mr Adam Stoneham

Mr Adam Stoneham is currently nearing the end of his second fellowship in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery, subspecializing in conditions of the Upper Limb. In 2025, he will return with his family to the UK to join the team at Homerton University Hospital, London, as a Locum Consultant.
