We are a department that provides a consultant-led service to dynamic surgical teams at the cutting edge of surgical innovation.

These include the more conventional areas such as examinerships, deanery roles, quality improvement, editorships, fellowship leads etc; but have expanded to medical examiner roles, mortality reviews, clinical risk, project management, ethics, management roles within the trust and even Magistracy.

Work has started on a purpose built, modular, ambulatory care centre - the Cancer and Surgical Innovation Centre (CASIC) - in the grounds of the RSFT that will give us additional capacity of 6 new theatres and associated facilities.

These are relatively new areas of demand, and along with an expansion of elective obstetrics and obstetric clinics offers a new consultant niche areas to organise and streamline. We are also expanding our pre-assessment service including a greater provision of consultant-led high-risk anaesthetic clinics.
