Hereford County Hospital

Hereford is a cathedral city around 50 miles south west of Birmingham with a District General Hospital providing services for a widespread rural community.

Anaesthetic services are provided for pre-operative assessment, general surgery, urology, oral surgery, plastic surgery, ENT, ophthalmology, obstetrics, gynaecology, orthopaedics, trauma and intensive care.

The relatively small size of the anaesthetic department engenders a familiarity and a sense of inclusion within a friendly team.  There are active teaching programmes for FRCA and simulation training, which receive good feedback.  Opportunities for post-fellowship trainee dedicated professional development sessions are available.
 
An active Postgraduate Medical Centre is located at the County Hospital with a well stocked library.  Departmental facilities include a dedicated trainee room with IT access and exam texts, on call rooms and a seminar room used for regular departmental quality improvement meetings.
