This week we would like to join with schools across the UK and the charity Just Like Us to celebrate School Diversity Week. Inclusion is really important to us at SWPCSU and we want all children and young people to feel safe, valued and respected when they come to theatres.

We are really proud to have been accredited as an elective surgical hub by the National ā€œGetting It Right First Timeā€ team - we are only the second dedicated children’s surgical service in England to have achieved this recognition.
We had to demonstrate that we meet a range of standards for the care we provide, and accreditation means that we will be able to do more to reduce the length of time children in the southwest have to wait to have some of the more common surgical procedures.

Happy National Operating Department Practitioner Day! Our wonderful ODPs work across all areas of the operating theatres and we are especially grateful that they are available 24/7 to look after children needing emergency surgery and those who are critically ill. Thank you to all of our brilliant ODPs - pictured here with our equally brilliant therapy dog, Dave.

Happy International Nurses Day! Our nurses work across all areas of operating theatres including pre-op assessment, assisting anaesthetists and surgeons and in the recovery room. Many of them have multiple skills so that they can work across different surgical specialties and areas of theatres. Thank you to all our fabulous nursing colleagues!

On International Women’s Day we are proud to celebrate the work of the senior female doctors at SWPCSU. Did you know that having a more diverse theatre team can be associated with better patient outcomes? So we are really pleased that half of our children’s anaesthetists are women and we have senior female surgeons in almost every specialty of children’s surgery here.

We are so pleased with the new additions to our decor and sea creature theme. Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman do you like that we even have a 52Hertz whale cycling over Dartmoor, as well as a musical octopus?
