Patients
The department is dealing with a wide aspect of benign and malignant pathology
of the chest including Lung, Oesophagus, Mediastinum, Chest wall
and Diaphragm.
Although the management of cancer remains
of prime interest, our staff are equally capable of dealing with
benign pathology of the chest, such as correction of Pectus deformities
with excellent cosmetic results.
Patients are not only looked after during
their hospital stay but are followed up at regular intervals.
Community
We recognize the importance of being able
to have a high standard care even when away from Hospital. Hence
the Department is busy developing strong links with the community
including health carers. We are promoting the establishment of
a common language by cascading information via the website.
The new WebPages for GP’S and nurses will
soon be available containing educational audiovisual material
and useful leaflets. Most of this material has been produced
from our team for the community health carers.
Staff
Happy and well trained staff are an important
aspect of a Surgical Department.
We have established an educational programme
for nurses and junior doctors regarding new advances in the surgical
management of Diseases of the Chest.
