Ward 3 and Cardio-thoracic Progressive Care Unit (PCU)
0161 276 4142

Ward 3 is a busy, friendly 27 bed Cardio-thoracic unit, which include a 6 bed high dependency area (Cardiothoracic PCU), and 8 further monitored and telemetry beds.

We care for pre and post operative Cardio-thoracic patients, as well as emergency chest trauma cases.

5 heart operations are carried out each day and there is one thoracic list per week, containing at least 2 major procedures.

All staff rotate between PCU and the ward. Students are allocated to the ward for critical care and surgical experience. Staff are also offered the opportunity to rotate throughout the Manchester Heart Centre and the Cardiac Surgery Intensive Care Unit.

All new members of staff are given an orientation programme, preceptorship and mentorship, objectives, teaching and regular appraisals. Funding is available for the ENB249, as well as various other courses and study days. Staff are encouraged to become active link workers in many specialist areas.
