Colorectal and Anal Cancer. The Unit carries out over 200 resections per year for colorectal cancer, serving a population of 1.4 million. Laparoscopic resection is the mainstay of practice. Robotic surgery accounts for a growing proportion of minimally invasive resections, particularly for the management of rectal cancer. The Unit has particular expertise in the management of early rectal cancer including TEMS and TAMIS approaches. The Unit is the regional centre for the management of anal squamous cell cancers. The quality of our results is evident in the NBOCA audit.

COVID-19: The COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course our patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings. Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not a condition of employment at this time, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated. We will be checking the vaccination status of all new starters so that we can manage individual and environmental risks and so that we can support those who may be undecided about vaccination. If you are unvaccinated there is helpful advice and information at Oxfordshire County Council Website where you can also find out more about how to access vaccination. There is a current Government consultation underway which will determine whether some new starters may need to be vaccinated.
