The Operating Theatres Show 2021

The Institute of Government & Public Policy will be hosting The Operating Theatres Show 2021 at The University of East London in October of this year.

The national show to explore the key issues that operating theatres are currently facing, and how to tackle them head on. According to NHS Improvement, over 291,000 more routine operations could be carried out per year by improving the scheduling of surgical lists. Variation in theatre productivity between different Trusts and different specialities was demonstrated as a contributing factor, including late starts, early finishes, and delays between operations.

The Operating Theatres Show 2021 will address key strategies for reducing waiting times in operating theatres, improving safety and outcomes of surgical services, and achieving greater productivity and capacity. The event will look at the future of surgery and how innovation in technology will drive significant improvements. Through case study examples, it aims to illustrate how teams have transformed their practice and high-level keynotes will give the latest overview of policy developments.

Delegates will hear from surgeons and senior representatives from the NHS, Royal College of Surgeons, The Association for Perioperative Practice, University Hospitals, and more. 

Sponsors of the event include Pentland Medical, Intersurgical Complete Respiratory Systems, Stryker, Cardiac Services, and Medicare Products, to name a few.
