There are six theatres, four of which are already operational:
Theatre 1 Trauma and Orthopaedic
Theatre 2 Dental / Day Cases / Endoscopy
Theatre 3 CEPOD (non elective emergency surgery) for children
Theatre 5 accommodates the potential additional activity which will come across from other acute paediatric centres.
Theatre 4 Children’s General Surgery
Theatre 6 ENT, Ophthalmology
Theatre 5 requires additional funding to facilitate completion. Once operational, it will be able to accommodate the potential additional activity which will come across from other acute paediatric centres.
The Children's Theatre Suite also provide:
Theatres 3 and 4 are purpose-built integrated theatres which enable the viewing and teaching of complex endoscopy procedures. The viewing screens feed back to the teaching area to enable staff to view specialised procedures without being in theatre itself. This often gives the student a better overhead view and reduces infection control risks.
