This important department supports our Obstetric, Gynaecological and General Surgical services.  It also provides expertise in Pain Control.

We are grateful for recent support providing new vapourisers for halothane, our main agent for general anaesthetics.  We have valued input from Dr. Angela Cooper, Consultant Anaesthetist, who worked with us for six months, and Dr. Neil Fergusson another Consultant who visited from Chester.  Recently Dr. Mark Fisher, a registrar from New Zealand, spent 2 months with us.  All these have helped encourage and further train our Anaesthetic Clinical Officers Gershom, Medius, Andrew and Simon.
