There are also two separate obstetric theatres.
Surgical services currently supported include general surgery (including colorectal and upper GI), orthopaedics and trauma, obstetrics and gynaecology, ENT, maxillo-facial, oral surgery, ophthalmology, urology and vascular. Enhanced recovery programmes are well advanced in colorectal and orthopaedic surgery and are being rolled out in other specialties.
