SUB-REGIONAL CENTRE FOR OTOLARYNGOLOGY AND HEAD AND NECK SURGERY

The ENT Department of the North Riding Infirmary has provided a specialist service to a population of over 600,000 patients for many years. The academic reputation of the unit has developed in association with this service commitment. An early milestone was the establishment of the rotation of a Senior Registrar with Ninewells Hospital, University of Dundee. The later establishment of a further Registrar and Senior Registrar rotation with the Freeman Hospital has complemented this. In the early 1980s the development of CO2 laser surgery techniques at the North Riding Infirmary led to the first publications from the unit and hosting of international conferences and training sessions. Recent years have seen a literary output to compare with most University departments, with national and international recognition through presentations to major conferences and the establishment of first-class research facilities. The fundraising work of the North Riding Infirmary Research Foundation (ENTER) has made a major contribution. The following pages document departmental publications, examination successes for our trainees, notable distinctions for senior staff and participation in ENT conferences. As Academic Chairman I find it especially gratifying that all the senior members of the department are contributing equally to the postgraduate work of the unit. A league table of published research presented at the BAOC, Manchester ranked us in eleventh place for publications nationally and the top scoring non-teaching hospital ENT unit for the five years 1990-1994. We must maintain this standard.
