  • The Midland Spinal Injury Unit at the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, Oswestry
    PARAPLEGIA lectures on specific problems in spinal lesions and rehabilitation. In the course of this programme we also train physiotherapists, occupational therapists and, above all, nursing staff. Refresher courses may take one to three days, while more comprehensive training courses take three to four months. Candidates for a doctor's degree are working in smaller groups when investigating special pro­ blems of paraplegia. Through scientific congresses and by advanced training courses for physicians and surgeons we are trying to collect and widen our experiences in this particular subject of medicine. We seek, as other specialists do, close co-operation with other branches of medicine which are involved in the treatment of paraplegics and tetraplegics. In order to achieve such a close relationship we are going to organise inter­ disciplinary lectures to stimulate the exchange of experiences with other branches of medicine. Another field of importance to which we give much attention is documenta­ tion and collecting of material dealing with rehabilitation as a special medical problem. In this respect we have established contact with other paraplegic units to pool experience on both medical and social problems. One day when discussing rehabilitation problems with a well-known professor and director of a large university hospital, he expressed concern that a rehabilitation centre for paraplegics of the size of the Heidelberg centre might, like a hydro­ cephalus, disturb the organisational equilibrium of a hospital. While I can understand his concern, I cannot accept this view at all. I believe that a rehabilita­ tion centre of this size may certainly become an important section of a large hospital and it may even become an integral part of the whole medical faculty of a university and may, by its initiative and work, exert a beneficial influence on other sections of the hospital and medical faculty as a whole.

  • Sources 1. the Heritage of Oswestry: the Origin and Development of the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, Oswestry 1900-1975
    HISTORICAL FACTSHEET No 9 The Hospital in World War Two At the outbreak of war in 1939, the Board of Management decided that civilian orthopaedic patients should continue to be treated, whatever arrangements were made for members of the armed forces. The hospital was designated a base hospital and reorganised under the Ministry of Health Emergency Service. Government funds were provided and extra huts built to accommodate service patients. Hospital life continued as normally as possible during the war years. Providing a proper ‘black-out’ on open-air wards was difficult to achieve, and much of the night nursing had to carried out by torchlight. Treatment of children was largely moved away from the main site, with the establishment of hospital annexes. In 1940 Lord Kenyon provided 60 beds at his Gredington estate near Whitchurch, and in 1941 another annexe was opened at Aston Hall, a country house on the outskirts of Oswestry. By the end of the war, the total number of beds available in the hospital plus annexes had almost doubled: in 1939 there were 360 beds, and from 1942 to 1945 there were 715. Battlefield casualties were at first not as numerous as those at Baschurch during the First World War, but they began in earnest after the invasion of Europe. After the D-Day landings in June 1944, two wounded paratroopers arrived within 48 hours. A train shuttle service from Gobowen station brought a steady stream of wounded men to the hospital. There was a huge workload in the operating theatre. Operations began at six a.m., with a four a.m.

  • John Benjamin Murphy, MD
    An American Original: John Benjamin Murphy, MD By: Ron Sims, Special Collections Librarian In late December 2010, the Galter Library was pleased to accept donated materials from Barbara Miller, the great granddaughter of J. B. Murphy. Among the treasures are photographs, newspaper clippings, an oil portrait and copies of Dr. Murphy’s Clinics. One of the more interesting items is a letter of introduction dated January 5, 1891, addressed to German authorities in Berlin from the Cook County Hospital administration, requesting assistance in obtaining “Koch lymph” for the Hospital. These and other items will be on display in the Eckenhoff Reference Room and the second level reception area of Special Collections through early fall 2011. John Benjamin Murphy, MD, LLD, MSc was Professor of surgery at Northwestern from 1901 to 1905. Following a brief hiatus at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, he returned to Northwestern in 1908. He was chief of surgery at Mercy Hospital, Northwestern’s first teaching hospital, from 1895 until his death in 1916. Born in a log cabin near Appleton, Wisconsin in 1857, John Murphy was to become an American surgical marvel of national and international fame. After attending a country grade school, he continued his education in Appleton, where a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin, R. H. Schmidt, taught him logic and chemistry. Mr. Schmidt was a forceful speaker and was a great influence on young John and his classmates. Dr. H. W. Reilly, the Murphy family physician, became one of young John’s heroes, as well as his preceptor in medicine.

    The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Private & Confidential Oswestry Shropshire FREEPOST SY10 7AG NHS FF CONSULTATION Mark Brandreth Chief Executive Officer Telephone: 01691 404358 Minicom/text: 01691 404558 Email: [email protected] www.rjah.nhs.uk 11th September 2018 Dear Sir / Madam, RE: Future Fit Consultation As a specialist hospital provider delivering healthcare services to the population of Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, together with North & Mid Wales, The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (RJAH) are supportive of the proposed models provided within the Future Fit consultation and some of our senior clinicians have been involved in the process to date. As you are aware there are a number of surgeons employed by RJAH that support delivery of the orthopaedic trauma rotas at SaTH. Dependent on the location of the emergency site this could impact the requirement of the number of surgeons to fulfil such rotas due to travel distances, provision of fracture clinics and trauma ward rounds, with the subsequent implications for the workforce and the likely additional cost. With this in mind we therefore support the proposal as set out for option one, seeing RSH at the primary emergency site and PRH as the elective site. RJAH recognise that NHS Future Fit is looking to improve health services provided by Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) to meet the needs of communities across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin and mid Wales. We understand that the changes suggested will look to address long standing staffing issues that impact on the care that can be provided.
