Anaesthetics at Scarborough and Bridlington

The Department of Anaesthetics is a part of the Directorate for Anaesthetics, Theatres and Critical Care. We provide Peri-operative Medical Care to Surgical patients, assessing their fitness for Anaesthesia and Surgery, optimising their general condition, anaesthetising them and managing their post-operative pain and other systemic problems.

We provide these services at Scarborough hospital, where most of the major Surgical procedures take place.

At Bridlington hospital, we run a 23 hour Day Care surgical centre, taking care of patients for various procedures including Joint replacements and Laparoscopic and Laser surgeries.

Surgical services currently supported include General surgery (including Colo-rectal). Orthopaedics and trauma, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, ENT, Dental, Maxillo-facial surgery, Ophthalmology and Urology.

We have a 5-6 bedded Intensive Care Unit, where we look after Critically ill patients.

We provide an On-Demand Epidural service for labour pain relief.

We also provide Acute and Chronic Pain management services at both Scarborough and Bridlington hospitals.
