We provide care for orthopaedic trauma patients, with treatment delivered collaboratively alongside other specialties as required, depending on the nature, severity, and overall burden of injury. Patients with multiple injuries are managed within a multidisciplinary framework. The department maintains a particularly close working relationship with the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery service.

The Trauma

Service focuses exclusively on trauma care; infections, soft tissue injuries, hand injuries, and cauda equina syndrome are managed by other specialist teams. However, the Trauma middle-grade team provides overnight support to the spinal service, including the management of trauma-related and metastatic spinal cord injuries.

It provides a wide range of general and specialist clinical services and is a base for medical education, training and research. The Trust comprises four hospitals - the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington and the Horton General Hospital in Banbury.

Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community. We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence, and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence. These values put patients at the heart of what we do and underpin the quality healthcare we would like for ourselves or a member of our family.

A key component of the role is that all middle-grade doctors have equitable access to clinical training opportunities and share service commitments, including theatre participation, ISCP workplace-based assessments (WBAs), educational supervision, and regular Multi-Consultant Reviews (MCRs).

The Trauma

Service operates a “Consultant of the Week” model to support its significant emergency workload.

Following a multidisciplinary team (MDT) ward round and formal handover, the night team is relieved of duty the following day.

In addition, two consultants are allocated to lead the daily operating lists, while a fourth consultant undertakes outpatient clinics or ward rounds. Trainees are expected to actively support both theatre sessions and clinics as part of their clinical responsibilities.
