department is comprised of 32 consultants, 4 associate specialists, 9 staff grades, and 6 speciality
doctors. A variable number of CT/ACCS and ST trainees rotate through the unit during the year. In
addition to providing cover for the two critical care units, the department covers the two obstetrics units
and provides anaesthesia at both sites. Emergency surgery for all specialities has been concentrated at St
Helier Hospital, while the majority of the elective work is performed at Epsom General Hospital.
