We’re delighted to have been able to transform a procedure room into a full operating theatre for Special Care Dentistry and other surgeries. The project was jointly funded between DCH and NHS Dorset, which commissions the Special Care Dentistry service provided by Somerset NHS Foundation Trust at the main hospital site. The space within main theatres was originally used for smaller procedures that were carried out under local anaesthetic. Upgrading the room to become an operating theatre allows DCH specialties to perform ear, nose and throat, gynaecology and orthopaedic procedures, as well as general surgeries. It also gives Special Care Dentistry additional theatre capacity for operations, which will help reduce waiting times for patients. The service provides dentistry care for adults and children with additional needs. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eptZJs8T
