Manx Care reduces waiting lists in two clinical areas

Wed, 06 Apr 2022

Manx Care has reduced waiting lists across two clinical specialties as part of its ‘Restoration and Recovery of Elective Activity’ programme.

Around 150 cataract procedures were completed across March by a team from specialist healthcare provider, Synaptik, utilising the facilities at the Private Patient Unit at Noble’s Hospital. 

By the end of February, Manx Care had cleared its Endoscopy waiting list thanks to the focused delivery of an in-house initiative to conduct procedures across weekend periods, utilising surplus theatre capacity. Between November 2021 and the end of February 2022, more than 450 patients were seen by the team at Noble’s Hospital, following a collaboration between the Endoscopy Team, Consultants, Nursing Team, Healthcare Assistants, Laboratory Team, Decontamination Team, Housekeeping Team, Pre-Assessment Team and Central Booking Team colleagues to deliver this activity at pace.
