Knee Senior Clinical Fellow

Trauma services and paediatric services are based at University Hospital of Wales and in the Children’s Hospital for Wales (CHfW) and consist of trauma clinics and trauma theatre sessions, as well as separate children’s trauma clinics and trauma lists. Under 16’s admitted under non-paediatric surgeons at the weekend are passed to the care of a designated paediatric surgeon the on the Monday after the on-call weekend.

The UHW is a Major Trauma Centre with a separate MTC Consultant rota and MTC theatre facilities.

Elective orthopaedic services except spines are based primarily at University Hospital Llandough.  Some musculoskeletal clinics are based at Cardiff Royal Infirmary and Barry Hospital.  Elective orthopaedic services at Llandough consist of outpatient clinics and elective theatre sessions.

Elective children’s clinics and lists are based in the CHfW. Elective and emergency spine surgery are based at UHW.

Presently, trauma clinics and some trauma lists are based at UHL due to COVID adaptations, but it is envisaged that trauma activity will move back to UHW.
