OS Oral surgery. 1 The Islands Health Plan Directory of Hospitals A national network of selected Hospitals As an AXA member, you have access to a national network of Hospitals, day-patient units, scanning centres and other private healthcare facilities. These have been selected following a comprehensive assessment of their quality, value and range of services. All of them are listed in the Islands Health Plan Directory of Hospitals. Oral surgery OS If you need oral surgery, then we’ll provide benefit for those oral surgical procedures that are set out in your membership handbook, when your dentist refers you directly to a facility indicated by the OS symbol in the Islands Health Plan Directory of Hospitals. Please visit our website: axaglobalhealthcare.com for further information and contact our team of Personal Advisers before you have any treatment. Cataract Surgery CS If you need an eye operation involving cataract surgery, then we’ll provide benefit when your general practitioner refers you directly to one of the facilities indicated by the CS symbol in the Islands Health Plan Directory of Hospitals. As we increase the number of these arrangements across the country we’ll provide updated information on our website. Please visit our website: axaglobalhealthcare.com for further information and contact our team of Personal Advisers before treatment. Our quality assessment and improvement programme Our initial assessment covers most aspects of the hospital’s services. We select hospitals and other facilities for inclusion in our network if they meet and continue to meet our strict quality criteria. We’re committed to supporting the hospitals included in our network, encouraging them to invest in new facilities and services – to our mutual long-term benefit. We regularly monitor their performance to assess their quality of care, which is why your feedback is particularly important. If you have used a facility, please complete your hospital’s ‘patient satisfaction survey’ form and return it to them. Standards for specialised services We also work closely with network hospitals that provide certain specialised care services such as cancer, cardiac revascularisation, critical care, paediatrics and psychiatric care. National guidelines for these have been established in conjunction with appropriate professional authorities and organisations. The benefits of our network hospitals Being treated in advanced medical facilities in a supportive, professional environment can play an important role in helping patients to recover. The hospitals included in the Islands Health Plan Directory of Hospitals will endeavour to make your stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. You can usually have your own private room with en-suite bathroom, television and telephone. You’ll be given a choice of dishes for each course at mealtimes and your visitors may, within reason, come and go as they wish. 2 Key: G General hospitals. M MRI. C CT. P PET. Ps Psychiatric hospitals. Be sure to call us first To check whether you’re covered, please call us before you start treatment. We’ll then be able to authorise your claim in advance – as described in the section ‘Arranging treatment and making a claim’ in your membership handbook. There may be rare occasions when we suspend the use of a network hospital or another facility listed in the Islands Health Plan Directory of Hospitals to protect the interest of our members. Day-patient treatment Advances in medical care mean that many operations are now undertaken on a day-patient basis. This is in keeping with good clinical practice. Please note that you may be cared for in an open day ward (rather than a single room) while you recover from an anaesthetic to enable nursing staff to monitor your progress more effectively. Most hospitals now offer day-patient treatment and we have included a number of purpose-built day-patient units in the Islands Health Plan Directory of Hospitals. Please check the Islands Health Plan Directory of Hospitals The map on page four shows the United Kingdom divided into eleven areas. This is then followed by a list of the hospitals, scanning centres and other facilities with one or more symbols shown against the name of each facility listed. Each entry shows the medical service available, arranged alphabetically by town and ordered in reference to the eleven areas shown on the map. For full details of the facilities and the range of services provided by the Hospitals, scanning centres and other facilities listed please visit our website: axaglobalhealthcare.com or contact our team of Personal Advisers.

  • Consultant in Trauma and Orthopaedics, Perth Royal Infirmary
    Consultant in Trauma and Orthopaedics, Perth Royal Infirmary Information Pack Closing date: 21 November 2019 Reference: AR.25.19 Welcome from Grant Archibald, Chief Executive, NHS Tayside Thank you for your interest in this post. As you’ll see we have put together some information on this site both about NHS Tayside and where we are located in Scotland. I hope that you find this useful and that you translate your interest in this post into a formal application. NHS Tayside has a strong track record in delivering high-quality, safe and effective care for all our patients. However, like other NHS Boards across Scotland, NHS Tayside is facing significant challenges including growing demand for all services, workforce challenges that are impacting upon how we deliver services and continuing pressures on our finances. In response to these challenges, NHS Tayside has embarked up on a programme of transformation to ensure that services are safe, affordable and, importantly, sustainable for the future. Transforming Tayside aims to deliver Better Health, Better Care, Better Workplace and Better Value for the population of Tayside. The programme is clinically-led and is being delivered in partnership with our staff and trades unions and our local health and social care partnerships. It is structured to respond to issues and make changes to services in the short to medium-term, as well as presenting an ambitious vision of transformation for Tayside in the longer term. It will provide clear and credible choices for transforming the future of local healthcare. A new, innovative leadership model for clinical directorates is now in place to drive the changes necessary in health and social care across the whole system.

  • The Ulster Medical Journal
    Supplement 3 November 1998 ISSN 0041-6193 THE ULSTER MEDICAL JOURNAL INDEX: VOLUMES 1 - 64 JS LOGAN, C McDONALD, E DORAN, JI LOGAN Published by THE ULSTER MEDICAL SOCIETY Cover picture: Richard Hunter, 1885-1970, painted by Sir James Gunn Reproduced by kind permission of The Queen’s University of Belfast and The National Museums and Galleries of Northern Ireland Ulster Medical Journal 1932 - 1995 This is the first index which the Journal has had. It is dedicated to the memory of Doctor Richard Hunter, the founder of the Journal, its first editor, and a valued contributor in its early days. Doctor Hunter, embryologist, anatomist and teacher, was in his time the inspiration of the pre-clinical students of the Queen’s University of Belfast, and of his graduate group in embryology. As was said of Boerhaave, those who knew him could not value him enough, and those who were so unfortunate as not to know him, could never know how much he was to be valued. The index has taken the four compilers some five years, intermittently as one phase of production succeeded another. What may be called the infrastructure lay in the archives office of the Royal Victoria Hospital. The office had been founded by Doctor RS Allison and carried on by him as archivist and Mrs EO Russell as secretary. A complete set of the Journal had been gathered in the office and it was prepared for binding. An early difficulty, not so minor, was the way the naming and numeration of the issues within a volume varied from time to time.
