Elective surgical hubs for helping the recovery of elective services: a national survey in England
Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Elective surgical hubs focusing on high-volume routine surgery using protected facilities and ringfenced resources are key to NHS England’s elective recovery strategy. In May 2021, the Getting It Right First Time initiative introduced the high-volume low-complexity programme to coordinate new and existing hubs nationally, and to provide a framework for delivery. This paper presents results from the first national survey to identify their prevalence, location and configuration, the provision of care offered and the contextual setting within healthcare providers in order to provide a strong foundation for future research.
