    Surgical hubs, new technology and innovative ways of working will help tackle waiting lists and treat around 30% more elective care patients by 2023 to 2024. Backed by a new £36 billion investment in health and social care over the next 3 years, ‘doing things differently’ and embracing innovation will be the driving force to get the NHS back on track. The funding will see the NHS deliver an extra 9 million checks, scans and operations for patients across the country, but it’s not enough to simply plug the elective gaps. The NHS will push forward with faster and more streamlined metho

    I have a young relative who contracted a bone infection in early childhood, leaving her with a badly damaged ankle. Now 15 years old, she has been through several operations to manage the effects and requires regular reviews. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, her mum was unable to get an appointment for her review, despite a worsening in mobility and pain. She was struggling to physically get around her school and, despite her admirable stoicism at such a young age, was clearly in a great deal of constant pain. She was finally seen in May 2021 by a surgeon she had not met before. By th

    “I was not able to walk for weeks until it had healed up. The impact was quite dramatic.” (Patient account) About the project This project, sponsored by Mölnlycke*, invites patients who have experienced an infection following surgery to share their experiences by being interviewed. These patient insights will be used to create a ‘Digital Storybook’, alongside interviews with healthcare workers. Key aims: To raise awareness of how infections following surgery can affect a patient and/or their families and carers. This might include physical, emotional or professional imp

    Currently approximately nine in ten surgeons use a tourniquet during knee replacement surgery. The results of the review show that tourniquets increase the risk of blood clots, infections and other complications when used in knee surgery. This article states that while the risk is still low (the vast majority of knee replacement operations do not lead to serious complications), because it is such a common procedure, researchers estimate that changing surgical practice to avoid using tourniquets could avoid nearly 2,000 serious complications in the UK each year. Commenting on this, Dr

    A hospital in Yorkshire has suspended all routine inpatient surgeries amid overcrowding in A&E caused by a lack of beds. Staff at the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust were told in an email that this had been a "critical issue for too long." “It is with regret that this decision has had to be made given that it will result in less patients receiving surgical treatment, slowing down our progress on reducing waiting times. However, the extreme pressure on beds has to be reduced and quickly. The trust consistently has between 25 and 50 patients waiting for a bed at any one time at Pinder
