Manx Care reduces waiting lists in two clinical areas

Manx Care says it's reduced waiting lists across two clinical specialties as part of its ‘Restoration and Recovery of Elective Activity’ programme.

Around 150 cataract procedures were completed across March by a team from specialist healthcare provider, Synaptik, utilising the facilities at the Private Patient Unit at Noble’s Hospital.

Further, by the end of February, Manx Care cleared its Endoscopy waiting list thanks to the focused delivery of an in-house initiative to conduct procedures across weekend periods, utilising surplus theatre capacity. 

Finally, work is at a detailed planning stage with regard to re-starting the delivery of elective orthopaedic activity at Noble’s Hospital.
