The provider has the ability to provide ACHD surgeons for ACHD theatre lists to support reducing waiting times for ACHD patients. Due to the close geographical location of Alder Hey to Liverpool Heart & Chest, this ensures the surgeons are already in close proximity and are able to support the patients out of hours and work closely with LHCH cardiac and aortic colleagues. There are also efficiencies for patients when transitioning from paediatric services at Alder Hey to adult services at LHCH. The Trusts are in close geographical proximity which assists with familiarity for patients and families when care transfers.
