Anaesthesia, Intensive Care and Pain Management

• Highly performing intensive care team and outreach service
• High quality consultant based anaesthetic team
• Rapidly developing Chronic Pain team

We are a team of 26 consultants and 20 other specialist anaesthetists providing first class care across the Royal Surrey Site.

We have a highly rated obstetric epidural and anaesthetic service and run specialised clinics to answer questions and queries.

Our intensive care unit, high dependency and outreach service provides the highest quality care to the most unwell patients across the hospital. A consultant in intensive care is available 24 hours per day.

Over the last three years the Royal Surrey County Hospital has invested around £1.5 million in transforming its Intensive care facilities.  This significant investment has paid for additional and new equipment and extra consultants. 

The admissions have doubled to 750 in the last three years but mortality rates have fallen by 35%, which equates to 80 more people leaving hospital alive every year and is well below the national average.  ICU has also dramatically reduced the rates of serious infection by more than 70%.

Our chronic pain service provides clinics and therapeutic sessions for all major chronic pain complaints. This service is soon to be expanded to offer a comprehensive cancer pain service

Patients admitted for operations will see their anaesthetist before the operation and any questions or problems will be sorted out by one of our expert team.
