Helping you achieve your target of 5% improvement in 18 week RTT performance
|
Vanguard Healthcare Solutions |
By March 2026, each hospital trust must improve its 18-week RTT elective care performance by at least 5%, aiming to reduce the backlog of patients waiting over 18 weeks by nearly half a million nationally. With just over a year to achieve this, key questions you’ll be considering include: |
• Where can I make the biggest impact? |
• What additional demands will be made on hospital infrastructure and staff? |
• With so little time, how can I move at pace and which investments will effectively reduce waiting lists before the deadline, and provide a foundation for the step-up improvement in following years? |

Surgical hubs and additional diagnostic capacity are vital in addressing the backlog. However, if you lack spare operating theatres, is there time to establish a new hub? |
|
|
Mobile Vanguard theatres, like the one at Warwick Hospital, offer a rapidly deployable solution, completing over 1,000 orthopaedic procedures annually, including 910 joint replacements. These mobile units are operational within weeks and can come with supporting clinical teams to avoid staffing delays, as seen at the Warwick hub. |

The Warwick hub produced excellent first year results which powered the trust from 18th to 6th best for RTT performance. |

The number of (additional) procedures that you need to perform to meet the 5% target is no doubt at the front of mind. How does it compare to the number of procedures that can be completed in a Vanguard mobile facility? |

These figures were published in a study of the social impact created by Vanguard’s activities, completed by economic consultancy, Frontier Economics. |

Vanguard mobile theatres are often fully utilised for several years. However, if you require a tailored, more permanent solution, a modular-build facility may better meet your long-term needs and Vanguard has built, within months, surgical hubs which have a huge impact on the elective backlog, for example: |
