Adult Major Trauma Centre

Wide Off Off

North Bristol NHS Trust is one of two designated Major Trauma Centres in South West England, servicing the Severn region. 

The Major Trauma Centre, supported by six acute trusts as designated trauma units, helps increase the chances of survival and recovery for seriously ill patients. 

The Brunel building, Southmead Hospital, is equipped with a helipad and a major specialty for: 

  • Neurosurgery 

  • Burns 

  • Plastics 

  • Pelvic Surgery 

  • Open Fractures 

As a Major Trauma Centre, Southmead Hospital will ensure that patients who are admitted have access to specialist equipment and a full range of trauma specialists, including orthopaedics, neurosurgery and radiology teams. 

This will help improve patients’ chances of survival and help them recover faster; it is estimated that survival rates are increased by up to 30%. 

In addition to clinical teams, we have a team of experienced nurses and therapists who are available specifically to coordinate the care of seriously injured patients and provide support and information to patients and families both during and after their stay at the Major Trauma Centre. 

Understanding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the early speech and language development of children born with cleft lip and/or palate.

Investigators: Lucy Southby, Yvonne Wren, Amy Davies, Sharon Baker, Helen Extence, Neil Brierley

Timescale: January - December 2023

Funder: CLEFT Bridging the Gap Charity https://www.cleft.org.uk/

Children born with cleft palate are at risk of speech problems and delayed early language development. During the COVID-19 pandemic, treatments for children born with a cleft were often delayed and the environment that young children were exposed to was different because of lockdowns, social distancing and facemasks. This research aims to understand whether these differences from the pandemic have had an impact on the early speech and language development of children born with a cleft. Using data from The Cleft Collective cohort studies, this work will describe the early speech and language skills of children born with a cleft (up to age 2 years) who were born just before or during the pandemic and compare them to children who reached age two years before the pandemic started.

RCSLT Conference 2023. Embracing the future together.

1-2 November 2023

I am attending logo

The RCSLT is hosting their biannual conference online again this year on the 1-2 November. The conference promises "two days of opportunities for learning, professional development, and networking". Colleagues at BSLTRU and Cardiff Metropolitan University (CMU) will be presenting their research at this event. ​

​The conference is exceptionally good value, making it very accessible. We are planning on extending this inclusive event by hosting opportunities to gather 'in-person' at Southmead (Weds 1st Nov) and Cardiff Llandaff campus (Thurs 2nd Nov). BSLTRU/CMU will make several rooms available over the 2 days so that colleagues registered to attend the conference can gather to watch and discuss parallel sessions. We hope this will provide an enhanced networking opportunity and give colleagues the chance to critically engage with the conference content. ​

​For more information go to: www.rcslt.org/events/rcslt-conference-2023/section-1

If you are interested in joining us for the conference, please email dominika.kruszynska@nbt.nhs.uk to express your interest​ by 20th October 2023.

Haematology HIT Guidance

Wide On Off

At North Bristol NHS Trust the test used to investigate a potential clinical diagnosis of HIT is an ELISA for heparin/PF4 antibodies.

A pretest probability should be calculated and the need for investigation discussed with a haematologist. The assay will not be performed without a 4Ts score.

 Estimating the pretest probability of HIT: the ‘four Ts’

 

Points
 (0, 1 or 2 for each of four categories: maximum possible score =8)

2

1

0

 

Thrombocytopenia

> 50% fall or platelet nadir 20–100x 109 per l

30–50% fall or platelet nadir 10–19x 109 per l

fall <30% or platelet nadir <10x 109 per l

Timing* of platelet count fall or other sequelae

Clear onset between days 5 and 10; or less than 1 d (if heparin exposure within past 100 d)

Consistent with immunisation but not clear (e.g. missing platelet counts) or onset of thrombocytopenia after day 10



Platelet count fall too early (without recent heparin exposure)

Thrombosis or other sequelae (e.g. injection site lesions)

New thrombosis; skin necrosis; post heparin bolus acute systemic reaction

Progressive or recurrent thrombosis; erythematous skin lesions; suspected thrombosis not yet proven

None


Other causes for thrombocytopenia not evident
 

No other cause for platelet count fall is evident

Possible other cause is evident

Definite other cause is present

Pretest probability score: 6–8 = high; 4–5 = intermediate; 0–3 = low.  
*First day of immunising heparin exposure is considered day 0; the day the platelet count begins to fall is considered the day of onset of thrombocytopenia (it generally takes 1–3 d more until an arbitrary threshold that defines thrombocytopenia is passed).

 

If the pretest probability is low consider whether a HIT heparin/PF4 antibody assay should be performed.  If the pretest probability is high, heparin should be stopped and an alternative anticoagulant given whilst laboratory tests are performed.

The immunological tests have high sensitivity, 80–100%, for heparin/PF4 antibodies but the diagnostic specificity for the clinical syndrome of HIT is low. A strongly positive test indicates a much greater likelihood of HIT than a weakly positive test.

Behind the Scenes

Have you ever wondered what our 13,500 NBT staff get up to? How many patients are treated, letters are sent, and operations are carried out? 

In this new video series, you’ll be able to take a look behind the scenes at some of our teams during a typical day at North Bristol NHS Trust and find out about some of the work our dedicated staff do every day. 

Our staff are at the heart of everything we do, 365 days a year they are here looking after our patients and ensuring our hospitals run smoothly. We want to celebrate the teams and individuals that continue to do amazing things every day to improve the lives of our patients and their colleagues.

If our teams inspire you to find out why a career here might be right for you

Elgar Enablement Unit

Meet our Elgar Enablement unit team. The team of 162 healthcare professionals and support staff support our patients to be more active and enhance their physical and emotional wellbeing in preparation for leaving the hospital. This includes gardening, dance for dementia sessions and seeing our therapy dogs.

IT Support Services

Take a look behind the scenes with our IT Support Service, who work together to ensure our colleagues spend less time on IT and more time with our patients.

Portering

Our Porters make sure patients are at the right place at the right time to get the treatment they need. They also make sure crucial goods and items are delivered where they are needed most. Our Porter's team take us through the different jobs they’ve done, inside jokes and most importantly, the team spirit that brings them all together.

Clinical Simulation Team

Meet our clinical simulation team, who help deliver scenario-based training for colleagues across NBT.

NBT eXtra

Meet our administrative team behind our temporary staffing bank - NBT eXtra. The team work with colleagues across the NBT to support staff levels and fill 20,000 shifts a month. 

Organ Donation

At NBT, many teams are involved in organ donation and this life transforming work, from ICU staff, specialist nurses in organ donation to renal recipient coordinators. To highlight the important work they do, we went behind the scenes to learn more about the organ donation process and, most importantly, why it matters.

Westgate House

Meet the Paediatric Outpatients department at Westgate House, Southmead Hospital. The small team supports 10 consultant clinics including renal, surgical, diabetes, allergy and neonatology for its young patients. They also run three nurse-led clinics, including the busiest BCG vaccination clinic in the South West currently, prolonged jaundice and taking blood for tests. Their patients range in age from two weeks to 18 years - when they move onto adult services - with the team supporting some of their young patients throughout childhood.

Ward Operatives

Meet the team serving 2,000 patient meals a day. Come along as we join our ward operative team and watch them in action as they prepare our patient meals and head onto the wards for the lunch service - everything made and served with a smile.
