Summary
Anaesthetic Services All anaesthetic consultants at CIC work flexibly in time and theatre location, with rotas published 6 weeks in advance. This enables consultants to maintain their skills across a wide range of specialities. For more complex areas for example ICU, vascular, upper g-i, and major ENT a smaller pool within the body of Consultants with special interests will work flexibly to provide cover for elective lists. This flexible working enables the department to provide a high quality out-of-hours service across the full range of specialities, including paediatric anaesthesia as required, despite there being only 2 Consultants on-call. Surgical specialities: We provide anaesthetic services for a wide range of surgical specialities from day-case to complex surgery. Surgical specialities include general surgery, vascular, urology, ophthalmology, obstetrics and gynaecology, trauma and orthopaedics, maxillo-facial, ENT, and community dentals. Cumberland Infirmary is a vascular centre. There has been a recent expansion of vascular services, now with 5 full day vascular lists. Obstetrics. There are approximately 1800 deliveries a year at CIC, with a Caesarean section rate of about 28%. There are 3 elective LSCS lists per week that are staffed by a Consultant anaesthetist. There is an antenatal anaesthetic assessment service, with a clinic once a fortnight. Currently there is also an established obstetric epidural service at CIC. The Consultant Lead for obstetric anaesthesia is Dr Chris Dickson. Paediatrics. Anaesthetic services are provided for straightforward paediatric surgery, mainly ENT and dentals down to an age of 1 year, or 10kg. This along with ongoing CPD enables members of the department to maintain their skills for management of paediatric emergencies that inevitably present.
