Benefits of Clinical Insourcing with Us
We provide clinical insourcing and deliver extra capacity medical services, including surgical and diagnostic procedures. This is achieved by using under-utilised NHS facilities outside of normal working hours (weekends and evenings). This boosts service outputs and addresses national waiting list targets.
Insourcing for Elective Care Services with Shire Surgical
Experience
Our Board has over 85 years combined experience delivering front line NHS services. Our operational team has both NHS and private healthcare experience, adding valuable knowledge regarding pathway optimisation, efficiency gains and patient care.
Results
We have successful experience of delivering increased capacity and reduced waiting times. In a recent project, we reduced the waiting list by 1380 in 15 days; increased procedure capacity by 32-53% compared to standard clinics; and saw a reduction in DNA rates to 1.4%.
Fast improvements
Using our extensive experience, insourcing projects can be mobilised and implemented quickly which enables us to deliver a rapid increase in capacity and reduction in local waiting times of elective procedures. Insourcing services can be procured via the Countess of Chester NHS National Flexible Framework for the provision of On-Site Surgical and Medical Solutions.
Transferable learning
We provide regular reports to managers and clinical governance teams. Transferable learning and pathway efficiencies are also shared with partnering Trusts for long-term adoptable benefits.
We can offer tailored training opportunities to develop internal expertise for sustainable improvements and to maximise value for the NHS.
When substantive staff are involved in insourcing projects, more efficient working practices that are adopted during the project, quickly become embedded as standard during standard NHS hours.
Sub-tariff pricing
We add value with below-tariff rates. Contracts can vary based on trust requirements.
Integrated services
By collaborating with our partnering Trust, we can use a flexible model which focuses on the specific requirements of the Trust. We prioritise effective communication across services and teams to deliver an integrated approach.
Patient experience
We are very proud of our patient satisfaction levels. Based on previous project feedback, 98.8% of patients rated the service they received as excellent. Many patients also commented on the convenience of weekend appointments.
Reducing DNA rates, optimising resource utilisation and expediating pathways, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes.
