Western Trust
1 Throwback - DPU 20th Anniversary
In Joe’s time here in the Western Trust we have seen many milestones including the Day Procedure Unit at the Tyrone County Hospital reaching its 20th anniversary in December 2015. To mark this significant milestone, patients, staff and management, past and present, gathered together for an afternoon of celebration and reminiscing.
The 14 bedded unit opened in December 1995 providing services such as general surgery, ENT, gynaecology and endoscopy, treating over 2,500 patients from Omagh and the surrounding areas in its first year. Fast forward to today and the unit has increased its bed capacity to 21 beds and has embraced many new innovative specialities such as vascular access, treating approximately 5,500 patients each year from right across the Western Trust area.
