Department of Theatres, Anaesthetics and Critical Care at Frimley Park Hospital: The ACSA-accredited anaesthetic department has 56 Consultant Anaesthetists, providing anaesthetic duties in 18 theatres, in addition to several areas outside the theatre complex, including obstetrics, interventional radiology, endoscopy and cardiac catheterisation suites. They also work at Heatherwood Hospital, a newly built £100m state-of-the-art elective surgery hub, which opened in March 2022. The department provides a cardio-pulmonary exercise testing service, an acute and chronic pain service, and a high-risk pre-operative clinic. It is an ESRA-approved training centre for regional anaesthesia. The department supports an obstetric service managing over 5500 deliveries per year. Post Anaesthetic Care Unit: There are 3 PACUs within Frimley Park Hospital, each located alongside a theatre suite. The main theatre PACU also functions as an overnight recovery unit for complex post-operative patients. There is capacity for up to four post-operative patients requiring level 2 care and these patients are managed jointly by the ICU and anaesthetic teams. The unit is also able to support the ICU and will manage Level 3 critical care patients when the critical care unit capacity is under pressure.
