Mr Shyamalan is a dedicated Hand Surgeon working and training others at The Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust, serving a population of over one million people. He is regarded to be one of the leading hand surgeons in the West Midlands.
He sees complex hand, wrist and elbow problems in his general NHS hand clinics in Solihull and Good Hope Hospital (Sutton Coldfield). He also performs general orthopaedic trauma surgery at Heartlands Hospital, sub-specialising in complex upper limb injuries such as fractures around the shoulder and elbow.
Currently he is the Clinical Governance Lead for Trauma and Orthopaedics and is a member of the quality and safety panel for surgical specialities.
His Hand & Plastic Surgery fellowship training was undertaken at three world class units:
Ganga Hospital, India, with Raja Sabapathy.
Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney, with Professor Tonkin.
The Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, with Kate Owers and Rupert Eckersley.
He has worked and published research with David Warwick.
During this time he developed expertise in complex nerve procedures, children’s hand problems, soft tissue hand trauma, including tendon, nerve and arterial repair, arthritis work, including joint replacement and wrist arthroscopy.
Mr Shyamalan’s aim is to offer an individualised, multi disciplinary service in the management of hand and wrist conditions. He works with hand therapists and gives due consideration to both surgical and non-surgical options.
PERSONAL PROFILE:
I grew up in County Durham, studying at Barnard Castle School. I developed a particular passion for rugby and went on to play for Durham County at School level. I broke my scaphoid bone at school which required surgery, starting my love of hand surgery. I’m still involved in cricket and squash, although I’ve stopped full contact rugby these days as it plays havoc with ones fingers!
The real secret to my success is my wife and two little girls. In a changing landscape, steering our two girls to a happy life is our main goal. We enjoy many activities together; however, if I had to choose a favourite, it would be sailing in the Thames Estuary with the family.
Love all, serve all

PERSONAL
I love my work as an Occupational Therapist, the challenge and complexities, but also understanding the smallest of things can make a dramatic difference to a persons life. A gadget or a splint can enable someone to play the guitar or ease the pain of day to day activities.
I try to play tennis and pretend I am fit by attending the gym.
As well as my interest in hands and brains (after all they work together!) I help with a local charity to promote understanding of Autism.
My biggest challenge of course is bringing up two teenage children.
After a few years she went back to college to gain experience in IT and office administration gaining a NVQ3 qualification as an Office Supervisor/Administrator. She then went onto work as a Legal Secretary specialising in Employment Law and Civil Litigation.
With her continued interest in medicine she decided to take up the position of Medical Secretary in the Radiology Department at Queen’s Hospital, Burton-upon-Trent. At the same time she took the AMSPAR qualification gaining a distinction in 2011. She then took up the position of Medical Secretary in the busy Trauma & Orthopaedics Department at Good Hope Hospital working for three consultants.
She presently works part time for a GP surgery closer to home but is also employed as Mr Shyamalan’s Private Secretary at Little Aston Hospital, Sutton Coldfield.
Pam’s interests outside of work include gardening and spending time walking in the Peak District with her husband and their two dogs.
