Heather Lawson, matron for orthopaedics at Wansbeck hospital, said: “This new orthopaedic unit at Wansbeck General Hospital firmly secures Northumbria’s position at the forefront of orthopaedic care.

“For many years, we have pushed the boundaries to provide even better care for our patients, pioneering fast-track techniques to reduce patients’ length of stay, using advanced techniques to increase the number of procedures able to be carried out as day-cases and, above all, improving patients’ experiences.

“The centre is truly nurse-led and offers endless opportunities for development and I’d encourage anyone who’s interested to attend our open event to find out more and look around the unit.

“It’s a really exciting time to join us at Wansbeck hospital as every department strives to provide the highest standards for patients requiring planned and on-going care. We also have opportunities for nurses and midwives in the community and across the trust and urge anyone interested to come along.”
