Cutting the Covid-19 Surgical Backlog through Digital Innovations

The Health Innovation Network hosted a roundtable event in July 2021 on “Cutting the Covid-19 Backlog through Digital Innovations”, where senior leaders in the NHS from across London were invited to discuss the digital opportunities to tackle this immense challenge. We had senior NHS representatives from a variety of clinical and digital transformation backgrounds working across the perioperative pathway. This report summarises the areas of opportunities that were discussed by the participants.

This is the start of the debate on best practice for digitising the perioperative pathway and a journey for all those involved in digital health. We are interested in the views of all the stakeholders involved in the development market both in the UK and internationally. If you feel there are other digital solutions we should consider or learning from other countries or markets, please get in touch.
