During 2000/2001 there were a variety of service improvements,
developments and changes that included:
●
Appointing two new Consultant Paediatric Surgeons, thus
enabling an increase in the number of Consultant Paediatric
Urologists.
●
Developing two ENT Nurse Practitioner posts which have
responsibility for pre-admission clinic work, providing support
and care to children in the speciality; thus helping to improve
the care of children, whilst at the same time reducing junior
doctor duties.
During the early part of 2001/02, the Directorate has been
involved in discussions about developing the following major
services:
●
Extending the service provided for babies, who have bladder
extrophy, through the development of a national service in
conjunction with Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital.
●
Preparing a service case for developing the Burns Unit at
Booth Hall Children’s Hospital as a supra-regional centre.
●
The ongoing development of the limb correction services has
been formally evaluated, and as a consequence, has enabled
the appointment of an External Fixator Sister.
●
Appointing two additional Orthopaedic Surgeons, one of
which is proleptic, to meet the increasing demands on this
speciality.
●
Evaluating the possibility of transferring paediatric plastic
surgical cases from Withington Hospital to Booth Hall
Children’s Hospital.
