Under 16’s admitted under non-paediatric surgeons at the weekend are passed to the care of a designated paediatric surgeon the on the Monday after the on-call weekend.
The UHW is a Major Trauma Centre with a separate MTC Consultant rota and MTC theatre facilities.
Elective orthopaedic services except spines are based primarily at University Hospital Llandough. Some musculoskeletal clinics are based at Cardiff Royal Infirmary and Barry Hospital. Elective orthopaedic services at Llandough consist of outpatient clinics and elective theatre sessions.
Elective children’s clinics and lists are based in the CHfW. Elective and emergency spine surgery are based at UHW.
Presently, trauma clinics and some trauma lists are based at UHL due to COVID adaptations, but it is envisaged that trauma activity will move back to UHW.
12 Consultants populate the general on-call rota, 6 on the MTC rota, and 6 who are not on an on-call rota. The 8 spinal surgeons share a spinal on-call rota. The hand surgeons share a dedicated hand on-call rota.
