The 5th Annual Operating Theatres show is coming to London on the 11th March 2025 and will tackle some of the biggest challenges facing surgical teams - from the elective surgery backlog, to sustainability.
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.
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. Following the success of the first Northern-based show, The Operating Theatres Show is returning to London for the annual Southern-based programme in March 2025.
Visitors to the Fifth Annual Operating Theatres Show 2025 can discover more about the future of operating theatres in the NHS and the event will explore the latest technology, efficiency improvements, and initiatives on how to work towards a greener future.
This event is free to attend event for surgeons, theatre practitioners and healthcare leaders across NHS Trusts, Foundation Trusts, and ICS services.
Some of the hot topics discussed by leading experts, during the conference programme, include:
- Leading Progressive Change: Transforming Elective Care to Support our Patients and Colleagues
- Enhancing Theatre Productivity in the NHS: Strategies for Elective Recovery
