𝗧𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗛𝗦 𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀: 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 With waiting lists in the NHS at an all-time high, it's no surprise that health leaders, including Health Secretary Wes Streeting, are exploring ways to dramatically reduce these numbers by 2029. Building new theatres and outsourcing procedures are often put forward as solutions, but is this the only way? The truth is, we don’t just need to increase capacity by building more – we need to optimise what we already have. The NHS is equipped with a wealth of skilled staff and estate resources. However, many of the theatre teams have been through significant transformation and may now be feeling the effects of change fatigue. That said, there are still opportunities to improve efficiency without overwhelming teams further. This can be achieved by focusing on enhancing processes such as booking systems, optimising session utilisation, and ultimately increasing throughput to get more done within the existing setup. This is where Opfeed, a smart solution developed by RwHealth, can makes a significant difference. Opfeed enables real-time optimisation of theatre utilisation by streamlining scheduling and improving workflow. It’s not about asking teams to do more with less, but about enabling them to make the most of their existing resources. By improving the efficiency of theatre session planning and utilisation, we can make a meaningful dent in waiting times – without exhausting already stretched staff. In essence, Opfeed offers the NHS a way to work smarter, not harder. By helping clinical and administrative teams schedule operations more efficiently, monitor performance, and adjust plans in real time, it helps get the most out of theatre sessions. This doesn’t just help hospitals hit their targets, but ultimately enhances patient care by reducing wait times and improving overall throughput. With the right technology and data-driven approach, we can maximise existing resources, lifting the burden off teams and driving real change. It's time to look beyond building new infrastructure and consider how solutions like Opfeed can transform the NHS today.

Addressing NHS Waiting Lists with Smarter Theatre Optimisation  As NHS England faces mounting financial pressures, including the need to "slow down" elective procedures without additional funding, the challenge of reducing waiting lists has never been more critical. With the government targeting 40,000 extra appointments each week, many are questioning if this ambitious goal can be achieved within the current constraints. The pressure to balance funding, staffing, and operational efficiency is immense. This is where innovative solutions like Opfeed can make a significant impact. Opfeed is designed to optimize theatre scheduling and improve the utilisation of surgical capacity. By using real-time data and AI-driven insights, Opfeed can: ✅ Maximize theatre efficiency, reducing downtime and unlocking hidden capacity. ✅ Minimize bottlenecks by enhancing staff coordination and resource allocation. ✅ Support NHS trusts in delivering more procedures without requiring excessive overtime or additional shifts at unsustainable rates. In an environment where every penny counts and every additional procedure makes a difference, solutions like Opfeed offer a much-needed boost to operational efficiency, enabling NHS trusts to do more with what they have. As the NHS navigates these challenging times, embracing technology and innovation isn’t just beneficial—it’s essential. #NHS #HealthcareInnovation #TheatreOptimisation #WaitingLists #HealthcareEfficiency Scott Fletcher Rob O'Connor Richard Parker Jamie Papasavvas Dylan Smulders Gareth Kitchen Andrew Bucknor https://lnkd.in/ea9f38KC

How do you get rapid answers to #RWE questions when you have to go through so many stages of applications for data? The answer is to use HES! In the latest white paper by our Consultant Epidemiologist, Dr Michael Hughes, we explore how NHS Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) can be effectively used to track outcomes in patients with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), despite challenges in coding and data limitations. Dr. Hughes's analysis offers critical insights into the progression of this rare kidney disease, drawing from a robust cohort of 2,852 patients. ⬇️⬇️⬇️See below for the insights ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Scott Fletcher Jamie Papasavvas Dylan Smulders Richard Parker #HealthcareInnovation #RealWorldEvidence #NHS #Pharma #Epidemiology #IgAN #DataScience #HES #RWE
