Job responsibilities

On the 1 April 2011, County Durham and Darlington NHS

health care organisation delivering integrated acute and community health

services to patients committed to providing quality care along the whole

pathway; at home, in the community and in hospital.

We provide services from three main hospital sites, six

community hospitals, and around 80 locations across the area plus the care

delivered at home.

Our range of services includes hospital based emergency and

planned care, including surgery, medical treatment for serious and

life-threatening conditions, paediatrics and women services, community based

services for long term conditions like diabetes or respiratory illness; and

health and well-being services to improve health and prevent illness, such as

smoking cessation and alcohol reduction. So now, whatever the health care needs

of our community, and wherever they need them in County Durham, our commitment

is to provide these to the best standard and quality.

We provide acute services, for the most seriously ill or

injured patients through our Accident & Emergency departments at Darlington

Memorial and University Hospital of North Durham. Planned patient care,

rehabilitation and recovery, and an urgent care centre are provided at Bishop

Auckland Hospital. Outpatient and diagnostic facilities are provided at all

these sites.

We aim to treat patients as close to home as possible so

provideoutpatient and community facilities, including inpatients and day care

at six community hospitals.

The Trust in its aim to continue to drive the quality of

service provided to the community is to develop greater interdependence between

our hospitals by creating centres of excellence in a range of specialties on

each site, and greater integration between hospital and community services.

Recent developments in this area includes the approval to

centralise hyper-acute stroke services on a single site, at University Hospital

of North Durham allowing us to improve emergency stroke care during the first

72 hours and the development of a specialist bariatric service at Darlington.

University Hospital of North Durham has 366 beds and

provides a wide range of acute specialties including Accident & Emergency,

Anaesthetics and ITU, General Medicine, General and Vascular Surgery, Urology

(Day case only), Orthopaedics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Paediatrics,

support departments of Imaging (including PACS digital radiology, CT, MRI and

ultrasound), Coronary Angiography, Medical Physics, Pathology, Pharmacy and

hyper-acute stroke unit, supporting 24/7 emergency stroke care, including

administration of thrombolysis where appropriate, on a sustainable basis.

and opened in 2001, replacing the former Dryburn Hospital that has been

demolished. It serves a population of c250, 000. For Plastic Surgery and

Dermatology the population served is c750, 000, covering Sunderland and South

Tyneside as well.

The Department of Medicine is part of the acute and

long-term conditions care group and provides all major medical specialties.

There are 220 beds in the University Hospital for medical specialities, with a

further 68 rehabilitation beds in satellite hospitals. There is a full range of

diagnostic support with access to CT, MRI and Ultrasound including carotid

imaging.

over 40 admissions/24 hours plus a co-located ambulatory care service. The AMU

is supported by acute care physicians. There is a dedicated 24 bedded hyper

acute stroke unit with support from Stroke consultants with direct admissions
