Clinical Director: Mr P Hirst Directorate Manager: Mrs J Edwards Budget: £6.4 million Staff: 173 The Surgical Specialties Directorate was formed in November 2000 and comprises: Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery and the Head and Neck Surgical Unit (ENT, Maxillo-Facial Surgery, Audiology and Cochlear Implantation). Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery ● The Department recently introduced the role of Trauma Coordinator. The purpose of this role is to co-ordinate all orthopaedic trauma activity, ensuring it is managed in an efficient and effective manner, by liaising with A&E, Bed Bureau, Theatres, ward staff and clinicians in order to manage the patient's journey following admission. Clinical Director: Professor B J Pollard Directorate Manager: Mrs J Alexander (until June 2001) Budget: £9.8 million Staff: 250 ● ● ● The purchase of replacement washer disinfectors for Sterile Services has been agreed, delivery due in September 2001. Two new sterilizers were installed in the St. Mary’s department during August 2000 which has enabled improvements to the service in that area. During the year, staffing requirements for Sterile Services were reviewed and this resulted in an extension of opening hours and the creation of a new post to cover training and quality issues. ● The department welcomed Mr David Ellis, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon. Mr Ellis, who replaced Mr Maltby, took up post in April 2000. ● The Department of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery has joined the North West Regional Orthopaedic Collaborative. The Collaborative, is focused on Joint Replacement Surgery and forces units to critically review their service and work towards improvement. We aim to look specifically at reducing out-patient waiting times, making more efficient use of theatres and reducing waiting times for patients listed for Joint Replacement Surgery and categorised as urgent. The Orthopaedic Collaborative forms part of the Modernisation Agenda. The Head & Neck Surgical Unit ● During 2000/2001, 20 adults and 27 children underwent Cochlear Implantation. ● ● ● Practices associated with successful decontamination are under close scrutiny by Central Government and the publication of HSC 2000 (32) summarised the basic requirements. Significant changes were requested and a major programme of renovation and re-equipping of the three Sterile Service departments began and will continue throughout 2001/02. A new purpose-built day surgery unit with two theatres is to open in September 2001. Extra staff to cope with the increased workload are being recruited. When Withington Hospital closes, some of its services will transfer to Central Manchester and some to Wythenshawe Hospital. In order to deal with the increased elective surgery at MRI, both within main theatres and also within the day surgery unit, there has been major changes to the theatre operating schedule. The planned rota for September 2001 is a 2-week rotation with some surgeons working in day surgery one week and in main theatres the next. To manage the complexity of this an IT package has been developed for the directorate. ● ● Mr Philip Flanagan, Consultant ENT Surgeon joined in June 2000. Mr Flanagan, who replaces Mr Canty, has a special interest in Paediatric ENT surgery and rhinology. The ENT Out-patient Department successfully introduced the partial bookings appointment system in November 2000. Patients are given more choice in arranging clinic appointments, thus reducing the number of re-bookings and DNA’s (Did Not Attends). ● Another project that the Directorate has been involved in is run by the Teaching Company Scheme (TCS). The aim of this project is to examine the theatre business processes and identify areas where improvements can be achieved.

NHS Trust. The R&D exhibition gives the Trust’s researchers the opportunity to present their research to both the internal and external research community. Researchers from both organisations presented their research via poster displays and presentations, a total of 74 research posters were displayed. This year was the last year of the Trust’s Portfolio contract, for which the Trust receives funding (£5.5 million) to support its R&D activities. The researchers in the Trust are currently involved in 501 projects, which attracted £15.3 million in funding from research sponsors for the year. The Trust Research areas are: Cardiovascular disorders, Genetics, Health Services Research, Imaging, Laboratory Medicine (Technology, Transfer and Development), Musculoskeletal Disorders, Ocular Health, Oncology, Oral Health, Rehabilitation, Renal Disease and Transplantation and Women's and Children's Health. The Trust also supported research through it’s Research Grants programme. The awards provide pump-priming funding to projects which are likely to attract further external funding. This year 33 applications were made, all of a very high standard, and 11 grants were awarded totalling £71,000. This is the third year that Trust Research Grants have been awarded and the track record of previous grants has been excellent with approximately £1.1 million in total external grant funding being generated, including funding from the Medical Research Council, the Human Trust, Birth Defect Foundation, Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council and the Wellcome Trust. The Trusts seventh R&D exhibition in November 2000 was jointly held between this Trust and the Manchester Children’s Hospitals Although there are many experienced researchers within the Trust, there are also many new and aspiring researchers, who wish to improve or learn research skills. The Health Services Research Unit is a newly developed unit within the Trust, and aims to provide support to all staff involved in research. The construction of the Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Facility (CRF), near the main entrance to the Central site, is well underway and is due to open in October 2001. This will be a dedicated research facility with experienced research nurses who will conduct the research. The facility is gearing up to carry out projects from researchers in Central Manchester and Manchester Children’s University Hospitals NHS Trust, South Manchester University Hospitals NHS Trust, Salford Royal Hospitals NHS Trust and the University of Manchester. Education The Trust continues to support a wide range of educational activities for all professions as a major teaching organisation. Library Services The three separate libraries have been brought together under the ‘umbrella’ of one co-ordinated library service. Work has already began on improving this service. Undergraduate Medical Education This year has seen further improvement to the facilities and resources available to the Undergraduate medical students to support their education. Skills Laboratory: Skills teaching for medical undergraduates has vastly increased with the opening of the skills laboratory with a dedicated skills co-ordinator and this led to a high demand for placements at our Trust from pre-clinical students. Communication Skills: A new communications initiative has been introduced to cover such areas as “taking a history”, “giving information” and “breaking bad news”. 20 Annual Report 2000 ~ 2001
