Area of Science:

  • General Surgery
  • Healthcare Management
  • Surgical Workforce Planning

Background:

  • Current general surgery consultant guidelines involve specific operating and outpatient session allocations.
  • Understanding consultant workload is crucial for effective healthcare resource allocation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define a model workload for a General Surgical Consultant.
  • To provide a benchmark for surgical staff planning in healthcare districts.

Main Methods:

  • The study defines a standard weekly schedule for a Consultant General Surgeon.
  • It quantifies expected patient volume and operative procedures based on this schedule.

Main Results:

  • A standard Consultant General Surgeon workload includes 3 operating lists and 2 outpatient sessions weekly.
  • This equates to approximately 1,000 new patients annually and 15 hernia equivalent procedures weekly.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed workload model can aid surgical service planners in estimating staffing requirements.
  • This benchmark assists in optimizing surgical staff allocation within healthcare districts.
