059. Elisabeth KING
|
Elisabeth had previously worked many years as a nurse at
QA and then decided to take a career change and
subsequently worked with a GP practice in Cowplain. She
was appointed office manager in the department by Dr Jo
Shannon and Kate Bowskill and took up the appointment on
Monday 26th February 1990. Beverley Hancock was a part
time
secretary who in 1991 became secretary to the pain clinic
when it became a more formalised service. Elisabeth took
over from Phyllis Seymour and she remembers spending her
first week tidying up one of the rooms which became the
coffee room.. At the time Jo
Shannon was department chairman and John Saddler admin SR
who showed her the intricacies of rota management followed
by Peter McQuillan. Her
first consultant appointment was Bruce Taylor who became
the 14th consultant along with Gary Smith (ICU was not a
separate department back then), Maggie Evans, Barbara
Green, Bob Young, Ian Sutherland, Jo Shannon, Peter
Spreadbury, John Moon, Annie Turral, Anne Thornberry,
David Desgrand, Derek Pounder, Don McDougall, Pete Rogers
and Dick Luxmore was acting as a locum. Derek Pounder's
first words to her were "I want to be a beach bum". The
office was in the then new QA on F level .Elisabeth
remembers the department as small, friendly and family
orientated (no criticism meant of todays department) and
she speaks fondly of John Moon who was at the helm in her
early years and Dick Bishop the avuncular chief executive.
During Peter Spreadbury's chairmanship in 1996 she was
nominated for and received her first hospitals chairmans
award for excellence from Mr Jenner (see above)
Early secretarial staff included Cathie Harding who started
in November 1990 and was an accomplished typist in the pre
computer age. Cathy then became Dick Bishop's personal
assistant. She rejoined the department between 2007 and
2011, and is now working with orthopaedic surgeons at
Spire Hospital in Havant. Alison Faithful was a secretary
in the department for 5 years in the late 1990's.
Elisabeth gained an advance certificate in NHS management
in 1995.
She talks of the changes over the years, in particular the
advent of computer technology and the upheaval surrounding
the new consultant contract in 2005, with the attendant
job planning processes that evolved from it. She also
fondly remembers the summer parties, especially the ones
held at Ian Sutherlands house. Another memory is of Annie
Turral taking her (lady) cousins to see Miss Saigon in
London and Elisabeth trying to warn her (to no avail) of
its lack of suitability.
In 1999 hurricane Haslar struck and the department
expanded. Alison Moore was our secretary at Haslar.
In 2004 Elisabeth received the new appellation of
assistant operational manager. In 2010 she received her
second chairman's award for excellence this time from
David Rhind.
Her citation by Dan Connor was as follows:
CHAIRMAN's AWARD
"Elisabeth has managed the anaesthtic department for two
decades. The complex nature of managing this busy
department cannot be under-estimated. Throughout all of
this Elisabeth has maintained a clear and consistent
record of activity that has ensured fairness and equity as
well as clear evidence of output and fiscal
accountability. Her knowledge and experience have been
invaluable to the many clinical managers of the
anaesthetic department over the years. Her longstanding
loyalty and dedication to the anaesthetic department and
the Trust as well as her indirect but significant impact
on providing high quality patient care exceeds the
expectations of any employee, and over this time frame is
an outstanding achievement".
Elisabeth says:
"I have found great pleasure in seeing trainees coming
through the Department (sometimes as a novice) developing
their career progression and appointed as Consultants
(Grownups) within our forever expanding Department."
"Obviously, I have always had some excellent support from
the administrative teams over the years and without that
we would not have achieved being one of the most effective
and efficient administrative teams within the Trust."
"I would also like to mention my very fond memories of
Alison Prosser and Nicky Chadderton, who both supported me
in hours of need and I became very close to them both and
sadly miss them."

Eileen joined the department in 2002 as deputy anaesthetic
services coordinator. She recalls turning up much too
early on her first day and sitting in the corridor for
quite some time before she was let in. She has changed
offices at least four times and remembers the leaking
ceiling episode at QA in 2005, which necessitated a move
to St Mary's while the cause of the leak was investigated
and eventually fixed. She is grateful for the support she
has received from the department which she says is like
being part of a large family.

|
051. Sharon HOLLAND
|
I first came to Portsmouth in 1994 as a SHO in Critical Care, with the
intention of pursuing a career in Elderly Care, and getting some experience
of managing critically ill patients. I was quickly beguiled by Intensive
Care, not only because of the fascinating clinical work, but I was also so
impressed by the teaching and leadership demonstrated by the Intensivists,
which was a novel and refreshing experience.
At this time, there were two Intensive Care Units, a 3-4 bedded unit at
SMH and a 8 bedded unit at QAH. The units were led and managed by Gary
Smith, Bruce Taylor and Pete McQuillan. 24 hour shift pattern working had
recently been introduced for junior doctors on the unit, although shorter
but more frequent shifts were to become standard practice, as the European
Working Time Directive stipulations (EWTD) forced changes to working
patterns for doctors in training. It was wise whilst covering the SMH unit
to have a good sense of direction and either good running shoes or ideally
a car, to be able to respond to calls to the Renal Unit, which was then
situated some distance over the road from the main hospital (now a housing
development and school!).
After spending an enjoyable year on the ITUs, I managed to secure a place
as a novice anaesthetist in Portsmouth after a friendly “coffee room chat”
with Jeremy Nightingale, the then College Tutor. This was a far cry from
the formalised, structured, objective interviews now for CT1s (Core Trainees),
which are as reminiscent of a professional exam as of a job interview.
Getting to grips with understanding the rota was a bit of a challenge at
first, and I remember arriving rather late and flustered at SMH for an ENT
list with Consultant Anaesthetist Ann Davis, having initially gone to QAH
thinking I was due to join Consultant Gynaecologist Mr Davis for a
gynaecology session! I was also confused as to who “Dr Greenland” was,
discovering this was actually a hybrid of both Dr Barbara Green and Dr Iain
Sutherland, who were approaching retirement, and were jobsharing!
Eventually however, I got the hang of things.
I particularly enjoyed working at SMH, where the theatre teams worked
collaboratively in smaller groups, and elective lists seemed to run very
efficiently. This was made easier as the majority of the work was elective
surgery, although unplanned emergencies could also be accommodated for the
specialties gynaecology, urology, renal and oncology, and occasionally pain
management.
The old style open plan “Nightingale” wards such as Solent Urology were
generally well liked by patients, who could always see a nurse or other
patients, and could easily attract someone’s attention if needed. We have
moved away from this model of ward care to single rooms and small single
sex bays, which have the benefits of privacy and isolation for infection
control purposes, but can also leave patients feeling a little isolated
and vulnerable.
I remember the relentless hard work of “Betty”, a kind volunteer who kept
the theatre coffee room ship shape, with no cup unwashed, and the timely
mid-morning arrival of the League of Friends refreshment trolley to lift
the spirits and blood sugars of the theatre teams. The maternity unit was
based at SMH, and the roar from Fratton Park could sometimes be heard in
the delivery rooms if Portsmouth were playing at home. I remember one father
who was unable to attend the birth of his baby as he was watching Pompey
play, but on hearing of the safe delivery of his child, managed to have the
good news of his recent arrival announced over the tannoy at half time, for
all to hear!
I returned to Portsmouth as an anaesthetic trainee in 1998 and again in
2004, before being pointed as a Consultant in 2007. During this time, the
Anaesthetic Department underwent considerable changes in leadership and
organisation, but the most obvious changes were geographical. We moved from
two site working to three site working, when Haslar Hospital was temporarily
incorporated as part of Portsmouth Hospital NHS Trust. Since 2009, we have
consolidated care onto the single site at QAH. Structured training and
shift pattern working for juniors are now standard practice, which bring
their own benefits and problems, but the nature and enjoyment of our work
hasn’t really changed, nor has the resilience and robust character of the
patients of Portsmouth!

involved with anaesthetic rotas particularly the private rota on and
off from 1995 to 2013, and was responsible for phasing out anaesthetic

James Vincent writes:
"I remember very well the first time I went into an operating theatre to see a real live operation. I was a second year medical student and I thought that I wanted to be a surgeon - obviously it didn‘t turn out that way in the end! Anyway, I asked the theatre sister where the patient was because the theatre was basically empty. I was told that the patient was in the anaesthetic room being anaesthetised. I walked slowly over to the double doors between the anaesthetic room and the theatre itself and peered through the little round glass window into the anaesthetic room …and that was it! What I saw going on in there looked like seriously good fun! All those pipes, gasses and gadgets - I was totally hooked at that very instant.
As a final year student from Southampton University I arranged an elective in anaesthesia for five weeks in 1985 …funnily enough, in Portsmouth. A few of my medical student friends were going to be on attachments in Portsmouth …I think they thought the windsurfing was supposed to be good! So, we all came down for the summer together. I joined the department on my own and I rapidly came to the conclusion that they couldn’t have been used to having medical students on a regular basis in the department at that time - and I certainly don’t mean this in a bad way. I guess the anesthetists didn’t really know how to treat me. So, I found myself getting the same deal as the anaesthetic novices and I was basically being taught how to give anaesthetics - it was absolutely brilliant! It would never happen today of course, but by the end of this attachment I was actually giving anaesthetics on my own with the consultant outside the anaesthetic room in the theatre corridor! But there were some downsides to this attachment, some that I imagine anaesthetic colleagues might identify with. On one occasion I remember feeling really, really bad about a situation that happened, actually for a few minutes I felt utterly terrified. I had been giving an anaesthetic with one of the consultants for a short urology case and I misheard his instructions regarding the induction dose - he was handling the airway whilst I was administering the drugs. Anyway, I had given way too much thiopentone to this frail old chap ...virtually the whole syringe full! The consultant said, with a slightly anxious tone in his voice, “I didn’t really mean for you to give that much, this chap has rather a dodgy heart”! He was so calm in the way he said it …a trait of many anaesthetists of course. I felt utterly awful. Mercifully we got away with it ...it was not the last time this sort of thing happened to me in my career I can tell you!
After completing my house jobs I rejoined the department in 1988 as an anaesthetic SHO for two years, to learn how to do things properly. I have many anecdotes from those days …but they will have to wait for another time. Maybe one then! I remember doing an all-night case in trauma theatre one weekend, the orthopaedic registrar was trying to sew back virtually every single bit of tissue that connects the hand to the arm in some poor patient who had just about chopped it all off somehow. It had been going on for ages, it was 5 in the morning, I was exhausted …and the isoflurane was running out. I decided to re-fill the vaporiser myself. Somehow in the process of filling the vaporiser I managed to empty the entire contents of the isoflurane bottle onto the patient’s notes resting on the anaesthetic machine. Right there in front of my eyes the complete anaesthetic record vanished – all 8 hours of it! Dissolved in a moment …gone! The next problem quickly approached …I started to feel dizzy and thought that I was going to pass out! I realized that the overpowering aroma was going to anaesthetise me if I was not careful. I opened the main theatre doors to let some fresh air in and turned round to look at everyone else. I asked the surgeon if he was OK and he said that he felt terrible and was “seeing double”! The whole of the theatre stank of isoflurane and we all felt dreadful, dizzy & nauseated – it was a bit of a close shave!
I then left the department and went on to do medicine elsewhere for two years because I had been advised that I would not “get on” in anaesthetics if I didn’t get another feather in my cap outside of the specialty. I was really delighted to get MRCP whilst doing that medical job, but the on-calls were such a total nightmare that I went to Australia to get over it! Actually …I nearly left medicine all together! However, in the end things came good, I got my exams and jumped through the other hoops one had to and finished my training. I was ready to take up a consultant post! I always hankered after a permanent post back in Portsmouth - I had so many happy memories of those early days in the department. As luck would have it the stars came in to alignment in 1998, a position became available and I got appointed …and the rest is local history!
