HSS CPOC Service Annual Report 2021

Service Report May 2021 Colorectal and Peritoneal Oncology Centre – The Christie NHS Foundation Trust

Infrastructure development Through a joint venture with The Christie NHS Foundation Trust and HCA The Christie Private Care, there has been an increase in operating theatre capacity with two new operating theatres going live in October 2020. These theatres are fully integrated with the state-of-the-art Olympus ENDOALPHA system, including 4K ultra high-definition, 3D and fluorescent imaging capabilities in addition to the nCare and VaultStream image recording and medical content management system. The new theatres have increased the number of surgical theatres to 7 in addition to separate endoscopy and day case theatres. In addition, a new day of surgery unit (DOSA) also opened in August 2020 with an increasing number of selected PTS patients now being admitted on the day of surgery. A significant infrastructure development at The Christie is the £150M Paterson Redevelopment Project. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, building work continues on this new world-class transformational cancer research facility which will be one of the largest of its kind in Europe and will provide an exciting opportunity for members of CPOC to collaborate with leading cancer research scientists and help fulfil the unit’s research ambitions. It is anticipated the Paterson Building will be completed in 2023.
