Setting up a Service

Purpose

Background and rationale for change

Clinical Evidence

Patient Pathway

Activity and Income

Purpose

Provision of a regional service for fetal MR imaging based in Cambridge

Ensure provision of a comprehensive fetal medicine service

Background

Rosie Hospital

Comprehensive tertiary level fetal medicine service

Currently local patients requiring MR studies referred to Sh ffi ldSheffield

2012 

Rosie Hospital Extension

Clinical Evidence

Referrals are currently made to confirm or further characterise abnormalities seen on ultrasound

Patient Pathway

Current pathway

Referral to Fetal Medicine Department

Sheffield MR

Second Sheffield MR if necessary

Limitations

Distance to Sheffield

Time delay

Fragmented service

Patient Pathway

Proposed Patient Pathway

All fetal MR studies performed in Cambridge

Advantages

Quicker turnaround

Local reporting

Shorter distance for patient

Activity and Income

Activity

2010 – 20 referrals to Sheffield

2012 – 180 patients estimated

Income

Currently funded by research grant

Bid for local funding/case of need

MR Machines

Currently 4 MR clinical machines on site

1 research machine

Evelyn Trust Grant

Activity and Income

Financial requirements for installing and running MR machine

VERSUS

Undertaking the work on existing MR machines

Activity and Income

Reporting

‐ No on site expertise for sole reporting

‐ 2.4 whole time paediatric radiology consultants

‐ Number of cases versus service provision

Activity and Income

Local scanning and reporting

Double reporting in Sheffield

Advantages

‐ Governance

‐ Training

‐ Part of a network

E P i B l Vi• Europe – Paris, Brussels, Vienna, 

• Worldwide – Melbourne, US, Canada,  Israel ?

• Contact Elspeth Whitby

• Spent 1 week in Sheffield

• How to scan, case library, Practical setup, GE imaging

Funding

• 1 year sub‐specialty Paediatric Radiology fellowship e.g. Melbourne

• European School of Radiology, European Society of Paediatric Radiology

• Awards up to 4000 euros for 3 months travel & accommodation

• Training provided for free by host institution

• British Institute of Radiology, GE Fellowship

• Up to £2500 to study abroad, also small fund for medical students

• Women and Childrens Hospital

• 70,000 medical and surgical admissions

• No Accident / Emergency department

• 8 Paediatric Radiologists, cover all – fetal through Neuro

• + several Attaches• + several Attaches

• 2 Chef de Clinique / fellow

• 7 interns / registrars

• Normal workload of 200 – 300 antenatal MRI / year

Studying in France ?

• Language; Radio pediatrique

• IRM – Imagerie de Resonance Magnetique

• Termination laws determine timing of MRI. 

• UK – Termination <24 weeks, latest MRI around 22 weeks

• France Termination on request <12 weeks• France – Termination on request <12 weeks 

• France – Termination >12 weeks (“at any stage”) if there is serious risk to mother or fetus’ condition is considered incurable following MDT discussion

• Pathology issues – no restriction on keeping / retaining organs, so fetopathological correlation easier than UK, easy to go to back to cases. 

• Use of CT
