The two recent reports address the increasing resource challenges faced by NHS with findings that aim to help it improve quality of care for patients.
As part of the managed services agreement, the orthopaedics centre at Guy’s Hospital will be expanded and redeveloped, with which more patients will get access to services.
An additional operating theatre and eight new theatres will be developed in year one and by the end of year three, respectively.
Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust clinical director of surgery Peter Earnshaw said: “The Johnson & Johnson Managed Services partnership will further increase the time that frontline clinicians can focus on patient care and enable us to identify opportunities to improve the supply chain.
