Services
Hand Surgery
The hospital provides a number of services which include a specialist hand surgery/management unit sometimes known as HMU.
Access to these services is often made via GP referral. However, various A&E departments such as those at Charing Cross, St Marys and St Charles Hospital can make urgent tertiary referrals by contacting the Plastic surgery SHO on-call at Chelsea and Westminster through the telephone switchboard.
Patients are then given a copy of their A&E notes as well as any x-rays. These can then be used by the medical staff in the Hand Trauma clinic at Chelsea and Westminster. These outpatient clinics are currently operated by Mr Bantick and Mr Eckersley's medical teams.
With the impending implementation of the Electronic medical record this system, which is based urgently referred patients from A&E being handed a relavent portion of their medical notes, may change.
