Our inclusive nature has brought close working not only between neighbouring OMFS units but also within other specialities. We are a cohesive group with excellent support from SAS grades and are one of the first units to train OMFS Surgical care Practitioners. Close links with department management help smooth areas of decision making and streamline care.

The department is within the Head & Neck and Plastics Directorate which sits within the Surgical Care Group and provides an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service to York and the whole of North Yorkshire (a population of around 850 000).
