Complex SFA recanalisation procedure in CLTI with Ashish Patel from Guy's and St Thomas'​ NHS Foundation Trust during VIO 2023. Moderated by Marie Josee van Rijn joined by Venita Chandra, Gregory Stanley MD FACS, Leigh Ann O'Banion and Elizabeth Genovese, MD, MS, FACS, RPVI The iliac artery was crossed quickly during the procedure, and a six French sheath was placed for access. The main challenge identified was a flush occlusion of the superficial femoral artery (SFA), requiring careful navigation. A Gladius wire by intend was used to manage the occlusion. This wire helped navigate through the challenging blockage. Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) was employed with minimal contrast to visualize the arterial disease, showing a significant SFA occlusion and some involvement of the profunda femoris. The procedure aimed at re-establishing blood flow in the SFA, critical in managing CLTI, and the Gladius wire and IVUS were central in achieving this goal. #viocongress #vascular #PAD #SFA ASAHI INTECC Europe B.V.

Our ‘Clinical Letters & Discharge Summaries' solution via our Patient Portal 'Induction Zesty’, enables patients to receive and access their digital letters and discharge summaries from anywhere, anytime. This streamlined access ensures patients have all their key information in one place, enhancing their care experience. ➡️ Patient Access: Patients can effortlessly access their digital documents via the patient portal. An SMS with a link directs them to their documentation as soon as it's ready. The portal is quick to access through most common browsers, with no need for additional software downloads. ➡️ Automated Clinical System Generation: Say goodbye to extra admin work! Documents are automatically generated from the clinical system, freeing up staff time and making workflows more efficient. ➡️ Carbon Neutral: Going digital with letters helps reduce carbon footprints and leads to CO2 savings across trusts, supporting the goal of a greener NHS. ➡️ Compliance and Updates: Our integration aligns with NHS England’s vision for the NHSApp. Patients receive notifications when documents are available, and clinicians can update, amend, republish, and withdraw documents as needed. Unlike other systems, older letters are replaced rather than marked as old, ensuring patients always see the most recent version. Our technical approach ensures robust mapping of documents and thorough testing in QA and UAT environments.

🌟HemoScreen Transforming Patient Care: A Testimonial from Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (NTW) 🌟 "The implementation of HemoScreen has entirely transformed how we conduct tests at our Clozapine clinic. It's really simple to use, portable and offers results from a very small drop of finger-stick blood which allows us to transport it between clinics and provide tests in any environment — a game-changer for our workflow. But perhaps the greatest advantage is also the simplest— our patients' overwhelming approval of the finger-stick test. It's less intimidating than traditional methods, making the testing experience more comfortable for them. We've been teasing this option for years, but finally being able to deliver it brings us immeasurable joy. HemoScreen has truly transformed our approach to patient care, and we couldn't be happier with the outcomes."

The top private hospital in the UK for MAKO robotic joint replacement surgery is Spire Edinburgh Hospitals. 🏥 Spire Murrayfield Hospital performed the highest number of MAKO robotically assisted procedures of any independent hospital provider in the UK in 2023 and 2024. The MAKO robotic surgical system has many benefits for patients including: ➡️ more accurate implant placement ➡️ reduced risk of complications ➡️ and faster recovery times. The MAKO robot's innovative software helps surgeons precisely plan which parts of the bone and tissue to remove, and which to leave intact. Our experienced orthopaedic surgeons can then expertly use MAKO’s robotic arm to assist during hip and knee replacement surgery. Congratulations to everyone involved in this outstanding achievement. 🎉 *Based on Spire Murrayfield Hospital, Edinburgh, performing the highest number of MAKO robotically assisted procedures of any independent hospital provider in the UK in 2023 and 2024.

Why is it so important to ensure the surgical pathway is as efficient as possible? 🏥 A recent article from the Clinical Services Journal explains that thousands of operations were cancelled this year, whilst waiting lists are still extensive. See below 👇 "NHS figures show that over 21,053 operations were cancelled at the last minute for non-clinical reasons in the three months to the end of March 2024. The figures also show the total waiting list for NHS consultant-led hospital treatment decreased by 916 to 7.54 million." https://bit.ly/3wDQcoM Avoiding delays and complications is always important, but with ever growing waitlists, budget cuts and external challenges, we need to consider ways we can minimise disruptions when surgery does occur. Choosing passive warming blankets from THERMARMOUR reduces the chances of a patient developing hypothermia before, during, or after surgery. Preventing perioperative hypothermia is key in surgical pathway efficiency. This saves time, money, and improves the overall patient experience. A patient who develops hypothermia perioperatively requires longer to recover, using more resources and spending longer in hospital. #hypothermia #perioperativehypothermia #surgery #waitinglists #surgicalpathway
