About our service

We provide comprehensive anaesthetic and intensive care support for surgery, obstetrics and acute medicine across our sites.

Anaesthetics are used for pain relief during tests or surgical operations, so that you do not feel any pain or touch, pressure or temperature. Anaesthetics work by blocking the signals that pass along your nerves to your brain and there are several different types. Specialist interests of our consultants include vascular, colorectal, ear, nose and throat, paediatric surgery, trauma and orthopaedics (including revision joint surgery) and acute pain management.
