Contact: Dr Penny Edmondson (penelope.edmondson@liverpoolft.nhs.uk)

Module Details: This module would take place at Broadgreen site. (With on-call at Royal Liverpool).

With the service realignment within LUHFT we now are performing major lower limb reconstruction work as well as high volume upper limb, hip, knee and ankle surgeries at Broadgreen Hospital. Trainees undertaking this module will be expected to lead these lists, review high risk patients in preoperative clinics and use regional anaesthetic techniques to promote high quality patient care. The orthopaedic and anaesthetic department have an active research and audit portfolio which anaesthetic trainees can access.

If the trainees are interested in spinal surgery, we can arrange days at Walton Neuro Centre.

We would aim to complete an SIA module in Complex Orthopaedics and Regional Anaesthesia during this 6-month rotation.

Orthopaedic Trauma now takes place at Aintree site, so this placement would also include the option to complete time in AUH trauma theatres. There is also an option of completing Complex Orthopaedics with the (major) Trauma and Stabilisation SIA – on-call Aintree site.
