NORTH OF SCOTLAND PLANNING GROUP CARDIAC PLANNING EVENT 24th February 2010 Aberdeen
Cardiac Activity NOS • Start 1975 • Last 15 years Range = 540-675 • Average : 600 cases/Year • All types of Adult Cardiac Surgery, except cardiac transplantation • All types of Adult Thoracic Surgery , except transplantation
For every 1 million population 400-500 CABGs are required... NOS 1.2 million = Approx. 500-600 CABGs
CABG and the Age Trends Over the last 4 years 1791 cabg cases were performed in NOS: • Grampian= 1009 • Highlands = 323 • Tayside = 352 • Orkney = 41 • Shetland = 28 • Fife = 23 • England =7 • Western Isles = 4 • Wales / Forth Valley =1 > 70 Year old = 39 % > 80 Year old = 5 % Can we deny treatment on basis of age?

Keeping up with New Techniques • As a whole: Sensible open-minded approach to new techniques and treatments - Off-pump Revascularization -AF Ablation -Minimally Invasive MV Surgery (2 patients from Highlands and Tayside) -Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion for aortic surgery
ECMO AND VAD • Only Scottish Centre which has experience in Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenator in Adults • Ahead in experience with Ventricular Assist Devices • Most of the complex aortic surgery including aortic arch are performed in Aberdeen
Recruitment Pressures • Medical Middle Grade Staff : Training/Non training (SpR –STA-Core Trainee- Clinical Fellow –Research Fellow –Trust Doctors).. EWHD –Immigration restrictions.. Image of bleak future. • Anaesthetic Medical Staffing... Improvement • Nursing.. Specialist training, turn over, retention etc. Most of the above are problems at NATIONAL LEVEL
Solutions • Non training :Speciality Doctors “Staff Grade/Associate Specialist” (2WT) • MMC: Medical Support Nurses (5 WT) along with 3 FYD2 (FY2 cover only 30% of rota requirements) • Surgical Practitioners (3 Trainees) graduating Aug 2011
Sustainability • Expanding the non-training grade (SpD) • Replacement of some medical middle-grade posts with Surgical Practitioners posts. • Redesign rota structures and roles taking into accounts the limitations imposed by CC - AFC-EWHD- Professional bodies –Unions...etc A transitional period of higher PayRoll during training and replacement ( About 3 Years)
Plans/Future • Using telemedicine (PACS already)- SCI.. Extending clinical database to region • MD Meeting revival with Raigmore and Ninewells using technology • Promotion of managerial and administrative collaboration to achieve clinical effectiveness. This event today is another step in the efforts to support regional integration... Best wishes!
