Milton Keynes University Hospital
Two years into their Versius® Robotic Assisted Surgery programme, Milton Keynes University Hospital (MKUH) have reported major impacts on patient outcomes and surgical staff wellbeing.
In England, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, around 1% of the 8 million yearly elective operations were cancelled at the last minute for non-clinical reasons, including lack of ward or critical care bed availability.1 Since the introduction of Versius, MKUH have reported a saving of 450 bed days per year – exceeding the anticipated saving of 175 bed days in the original business case. MKUH have also reported improvements in the attraction and retention of talent, surgeon comfort and ergonomics, as well as a reduction in physical and cognitive stress.
Not only are we giving our surgeons access to the best tech that science can offer, we’re also helping to prolong their careers by introducing a solution which reduces the physical strain on their bodies. If improving the health and wellbeing of our staff wasn’t enough, the return on investment we see by retaining the best staff for longer was reason enough to work with CMR
