Within the hospitals an important development is the Paediatric
Intensive Care Services. The split site provision between Booth
Hall and Royal Manchester Children’s Hospitals proved
increasingly difficult to sustain during the year in terms of
medical staff cover and certain clinical governance issues.
In December 2000, it became necessary to rationalise the
Paediatric Intensive Care service on to the Royal Manchester
Children’s Hospital site. Funding was made available to establish
a Critical Care Service at Booth Hall Children’s Hospital to
provide essential support to clinical services.
● Centralisation and recommissioning of the Sterile Services
Department onto the Booth Hall Children’s Hospital site. This
department provides the Central Sterile Services Department
(CSSD) and Theatre Sterile Services Unit (TSSU) for both
children’s hospitals. The unit is in the process of assessment
for accreditation for the quality standard ISO9002.
● Actively recruiting Theatre staff of all grades, using all
available sources including overseas.
The priorities for 2001/02 are:
Consultant appraisal has been successfully introduced for the first
time and will continue to develop around the needs of
revalidation.
●
Purchasing and implementing a combined theatre and TSSU
IT system.
A notable academic development concerned the conferral by the
University of Manchester of a personal professorial chair upon Dr
Peter Clayton, Consultant Paediatric Endocrinologist.
● Purchasing state-of-the-art anaesthetic machines for the
theatres across both sites.
