The hospital has some 290 beds and employs approximately 1,300 staff. The Department Initiated by Sir Hugh Cairns, the Oxford Regional Neurosurgery Unit has developed to offer a fully comprehensive service. Modern theatres, ITU facilities and paediatric beds enable the department to look after both paediatric and adult patient with all types of neurosurgical problems.

There is a great interest in all types of spinal disorders, including those of rheumatiod disease of the neck, and spinal tumours.

With a total of approx. 100 endoscopic cases performed yearly there are excellent opportunities for operative training and most fellows have performed 40+ cases in the subspecialty (supervised) by the end of the fellowship.

The fellow is encouraged to see new patients in the general neurosurgery clinic.

The fellow is on the general on-call rotation at Registrar grade (12 registrar grade Drs in Unit) and is expected to cross cover operating lists and clinic when colleagues are absent.

Research is actively encouraged and most fellows have presented work relating to the fellowship at the SBNS, BSBS, ESBS, CNS or yearly RCP meeting. Many have published book chapters, editorials and papers as joint authors. The expectation is that the fellow will have a presentation and publication as a minimum following the fellowship.
