Salford's Health Investment for Tomorrow
5 Projects that are changing the face of health services in Salford
Children's Services
The Children’s project ensures local services are established and developed in Salford, which address the needs of the population. This is relevant because of planned changes in existing services, which will include the closure of Pendlebury Hospital and the transfer of those services to the Central Manchester Trust site.
Current Projects
Development of Pendleton Gateway Centre
To develop and commission a model of service in Salford which effectively integrates the Pendleton HSCC with other parts of the children’s care system. The HSCC will be delivered as part of the LIFT Project and will provide a focus for community level services and local clinics.
Establish diagnostics in designated Gateway Centres
Development of an integrated team for the management of acutely ill children and young people at Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust, which will link across the new system of services.
Paediatric Day Surgery
Establish the provision of paediatric day surgery at Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust, along with arrangements for overnight facilities. An objective is to ensure that 75% of elective procedures on Salford children will be on a day case basis.
