Stanmore is the main tertiary referral centre for Orthopaedics in London, and the largest specialist orthopaedic hospital in the UK. Referrals are received from across the South East region and beyond. Due to the level of sub-specialisation each department is a separate entity within the hospital, with no overlap between the surgical teams. Each department is made up of the standard Consultant body with the allocated SpRs/Middle Grades. All teams have dedicated ‘Tier 1’ cover to ‘share’ amongst the department. These doctors are a mix of Core Trainees (CTs), Junior Clinical Fellows (JCFs) and Foundation Equivalent Programme doctors (FEPs).
Stanmore receives no acute trauma when the normal services are running and there are no fracture clinics. Each department has their own urgent referral process for other hospitals to contact them and may be part of a wider range of national referral networks which differ by department. Some departments may have a dedicated team that handles referrals (e.g. secretaries) whilst in other cases the SpR may be responsible for accepting referrals. Some referrals come through for possible admission e.g. spinal cord injuries and some for discussion at a weekly MDT (e.g. Bone Tumour Unit). All elective work is undertaken at the main site in Stanmore. Some teams may utilise the outpatient facilities in Bolsover Street which have a radiology and physiotherapy department on site. The clinics here are often quieter than at the main hospital with good opportunities for teaching in the clinic.
