The Department The department consists of 7 consultants and 4 Speciality Doctors. There are 2 trainees rotating through training posts. There are four specialist nurses practising in advanced roles such as cataract clinics, post-operative cataracts and glaucoma clinics. We have AHPs working in Orthoptist roles. The department is also supported by an eye clinic liaison officer and a medical photography team. The department sees 44,000 patients in an outpatient capacity each year and we have clinics in oculoplastic, paediatric ophthalmology, medical retina, diabetic eye disease, glaucoma, cataract, and corneal sub-specialty areas. A sub specialty interest to complement the existing subspecialties is welcomed. The Post The majority of our outpatient clinics take place at the modern Rotherham Community Health Centre in Rotherham town centre. Surgical work predominantly takes place in the theatre suite at the main Rotherham Hospital site. More than 90 percent of our surgery is carried out under local anaesthetic as day surgery cases and the department is well supported by the day surgery unit. Cataract, glaucoma surgery, laser surgery, squint surgery, corneal grafts, oculoplastic surgery and other ocular operations are undertaken. The success rates of cataract surgery undertaken at the Trust are higher than the national rates and the complication rates of surgery are a lot less than the national ones. We are a modern department with state-of-the-art surgical equipment. The department is supported by Service Manager - Mr Mike Flint and Matron - Tracy Goldstone. Departmental educational, governance and clinical business meetings occur monthly. The weekly educational programme is inclusive and robust and supports strong team working.
