It's an exciting time for the Orthopaedic team at Bolton NHS Foundation Trust. We've just received significant investment from the trust to expand and improve our offering to patients across our Orthopaedic services.
There is on call cover required on a 1:11 rota.
A little bit about us!
The Orthopaedic unit has a dedicated brand new elective care centre for elective surgery as well as a ring fenced ward. Our outpatient department at the hospital has its own x-ray facility. We also provide an excellent interface outpatient service at Bolton One in the town centre led by our team of Advanced Orthopaedic Practitioners. Within the hospital we have two trauma wards both of which have a Trauma Stabilisation Unit (TSU).
Our Elective Care Centre has 2 laminar flow theatres which are generally used for arthroplasty surgery and a further 2 laminar flow theatres in the main theatre department where we complete trauma surgery.
At present, our team of thirteen Consultants provide general services as well as appropriate specialisation in key areas. Our team also consists of experienced plaster room staff, physiotherapists, specialist registrars, foundation year doctors, clinical fellows, advanced nurse practitioners and our dedicated administrative team.
