Hospitals on the Rotation.

The programme is based in the radiology departments at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals (Royal Hallamshire Hospital and Northern General Hospital).  Weston Park Hospital (oncology) and Sheffield Children’s Hospital (paediatrics) provide specific sub-specialty training and are located next to the Royal Hallamshire Hospital on the “central campus”.  Valuable district general hospital experience is provided in 4 local hospitals that are affiliated to our Training Programme.

Hospitals within the training programme offer a full range of specialities including regional centres for neurosciences, cardiology and cardio-thoracic surgery, paediatrics and oncology. Supporting radiology facilities include all current imaging modalities and interventional procedures. The Academic Department of Radiology (led by a Sheffield University Professor of Radiology supported by three senior lecturers and a 2 Professors in MR Physics) is situated in the Royal Hallamshire Hospital adjacent to the main department. 

Further details on each of the hospitals are available from the menu below.

Barnsley

barnsley_hospital.jpegBarnsley District General Hospital

The radiology department at Barnsley, following redevelopment in 2007, consists of 7 Consultant radiologists and 10 advanced practitioner radiographers providing a wide range of imaging including intervention and breast imaging.

Most of the consultants in the department are from the Sheffield Radiology Training Scheme.

The department has 4 ultrasound rooms, 2 screening rooms, 3 general rooms and a 1.5T static MRI scanner. 2 CT 64 Slice CT scanners with the latest 64-slice CT scanner installed in 2009. Nuclear medicine is sited in the main department and consists of recently acquired SPECT CT, dual headed gamma camera; blood labelling facilities and on-site radiopharmacy. The Breast Imaging department and a further Ultrasound suite is present in the Maternity block. There are 2 newly acquired biopsy phantoms which can be used to improve interventional skills.

We have had trust wide PACS since 2005.

All our lists are consultant led. We usually have one specialist registrar attached at a time, which allows great freedom in training and workload selection to reflect the interests and needs of the individual.

Trainees are encouraged to take responsibility for their own cases and there are many opportunities to gain hands on experience and confidence in all types of modalities. Apart from General radiology the trainees also have the opportunity to further develop their subspecialty interests in Chest, Gastrointestinal, Genitourinary, Breast, Musculoskeletal and Nuclear imaging.

The department as a whole is a very friendly and welcoming place with positive feedback from radiology registrars rotating through the department.

The present Trust was formed on 1st April 2001. We have featured consistently in the list of the Top 40 Hospitals and were awarded a Government Charter Mark on three consecutive occasions.  The Trust was a ‘pilot site’ for the 18 week pathway and in December 2007 was one of only 3 Trusts in the country to achieve the targets identified. We became an NHS Foundation Trust in 2004 and achieved recognition as a Teaching Hospital in 2017.

The Trust provides a wide range of health services at our three hospitals (Bassetlaw Hospital in Worksop, Doncaster Royal Infirmary, and Montagu Hospital, Mexborough) and community locations, including Retford Hospital and Chequer Road Clinic. We serve a population of approximately 420,000 in a number of community locations, including prisons. We have a full range of district general hospital services, with some regional services. We have 24-hour emergency surgery. 

 In 2014/15 we had a turnover of £355.9m and 172,023 people attended our hospitals for emergency care, 62,975 of whom were admitted to a ward.  We also delivered 5,084 babies and treated 51,962 patients as planned day cases, 10,376 patients having planned inpatient care, and 560,648 outpatients (including maternity but excluding clinical therapies).
