About us
Why Work With Us
The Trauma and Orthopaedic directorate sits within the Planned Care Integrated Service Organisation at Torbay Hospital. A comprehensive outpatient service is provided to all South Devon patients, both for trauma and elective orthopaedics. Fracture clinics are held at Torbay Hospital each weekday morning. Elective outpatient clinics currently take place at Torbay and Newton Abbot Hospitals. There is a Hydrotherapy pool and Rheumatology service at Torbay Hospital.
Two high dependency beds are supported on the elective orthopaedic ward.
The Directorate has two inpatient wards - Ainslie (26 trauma beds) and Ella Rowcroft (19 elective beds). We additionally undertake a high proportion of day case orthopaedic surgery, including selected joint replacement procedures, and have established a national reputation for excellence in this field.
There are four HEPA filtered Laminar flow theatres for trauma and orthopaedic surgery.
Admissions Officers co-ordinate all elective cases and input all operating lists (fracture and elective) onto the Hospital's Theatre system. Trauma Co-ordinators assist surgeons with the compilation of fracture lists and co-ordination of their operative stay, and also manage a "fast track" system for patients with fractured neck of femur. In addition these patients are supported by Consultant Orthogeriatricians, with a Physician's Assistant.
