The Institute for Government & Public Policy’s Operating Theatres Show is gaining a reputation up and down the country as a must-attend event for surgeons, senior theatre practitioners and healthcare leaders across NHS Trusts, Foundation Trusts, and ICS services.
IGPP’s event, taking place at The Kia Oval, London on 11 March 2025, will explore the latest technology, efficiency improvements, and initiatives on how to tackle the backlog, improve patient outcomes, advance surgical care and work towards a greener future.
Patient backlogs persist as a significant challenge in the NHS, with over 7 million people on a hospital waiting list in England. Improving efficiency and theatre productivity to reduce elective long waits and backlogs has never been more critical. Amid ongoing pay disputes and staff wellbeing concerns, leadership is a pivotal factor influencing staff efficiency and retention. Additionally, as the NHS journeys towards Net Zero by 2050, operating departments must scrutinise their energy efficiency and carbon emissions.

- Mark Henley – President, Confederation of British Surgery
- Angela Hayes - Nurse Fellow & Project Lead, The Centre for Sustainable Healthcare
- David Bunting - President, British Association of Day Surgery
