NHS NOE CPC: Supporting the recovery

As the NHS recovers from the second wave of the pandemic and the vaccine rollout continues, NHS England has recently announced a £160m initiative to tackle waiting lists and develop a blueprint for elective recovery.

National Health Executive recently highlighted results from a survey of healthcare professionals working in operating theatres. The survey, which was carried out by Molnlycke, showed that 68% of those who responded believed that delays to surgical procedures are having a negative impact on patient outcomes. 68% of respondents also said that the delays to surgical procedures are having a negative impact on the morale of staff.
