With elective surgery waiting lists growing nationwide (source: NHS England), and challenges in recruiting and retaining specialist surgical staff, NHS trusts are under significant pressure to meet patient demand. Innovative solutions are needed to reduce backlogs while maintaining care quality across various specialisms.
Our Elective Surgery Insourcing Model
We've created an Elective Surgery Insourcing model tailored specifically to help NHS trusts alleviate waiting list pressures and enhance surgical department efficiency. Backed by robust Clinical Governance and operating under National Clinical Insourcing Frameworks, our model draws on a vast network of surgical specialists across a wide range of disciplines, including Bariatrics, Colorectal, Endoscopy & Gastroenterology, General Surgery, Gynaecology, Ophthalmics, Orthopaedics, Paediatrics, Plastics, Urology, and Vascular Surgery.
We can rapidly deploy our Surgical Insourcing Teams, either working alongside your existing staff or independently during evenings and weekends to address backlogs. Our flexible model can be tailored to your specific needs, whether you require individual surgeons or fully staffed surgical teams, including Consultant Surgeons, Anaesthetists, Theatre Nurses, and support personnel.
We provide the expertise to address patient backlogs and support your trust in achieving RTT targets.
Boost clinical capacity,
reduce wait times,
treat more patients.
Our teams can perform a high volume of surgeries with the flexibility to scale up when additional theatre space is available, further accelerating the reduction of patient backlogs. This scalable approach ensures that you can meet demand efficiently while keeping your trust's operations running smoothly.
Our service is supplied through the NHS National Frameworks, so is priced against tariff ensuring the Trust receives the best value. By helping to avoid financial penalties for breaching RTT waiting time targets, our Elective Surgery Insourcing service improves patient care while protecting your Trust from potential fines, ensuring better outcomes and financial sustainability across multiple surgical specialties.
Our Elective Surgery Insourcing service ensures compliance with national safety and clinical quality standards. Each team is fully trained and equipped to maintain the highest levels of care across various specialties, supporting your trust in meeting RTT targets and delivering exceptional patient outcomes. By choosing our service, you can be confident in providing safe, timely, and efficient elective surgeries across diverse clinical areas.

The Trust has been successful in reducing its waiting list by 15% over the last year and improved its position in the proportion of current patients waiting less than 18 weeks from referral and for 52 weeks (as a percentage of the total waiting list) Referral To Treatment performance.
Critically, the Trust was the only Trust in the Black Country, and one of very few Trusts nationally, to deliver the commitment to have no patients waiting more than 65-weeks from referral to treatment at the end of March 2024
