Genmed is delighted to announce that their partnership with South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre (SWLEOC) has been shortlisted for ‘Best Acute Sector Partnership with the NHS’ at the HSJ Partnership Awards 2022. This recognition is for outstanding dedication to improving healthcare and effective collaboration with SWLEOC on their new theatre project; ‘delivering additional capacity, technology and value through surgery managed services’.
Following the in-depth judging process, Genmed and SWLEOC were shortlisted, ahead of the official awards ceremony on 24th March 2022, recognising this outstanding contribution to healthcare. Standing out amongst tough competition from hundreds of other exemplary nominees, their partnership has been selected based on their ambition, visionary spirit, and the demonstrable positive impact that their project has had on patient outcomes and staff experiences.
The new theatre at SWLEOC opened in July 2021 and is supporting the NHS in addressing waiting list numbers, with an additional 900 procedures expected to be performed within the first 12 months of opening. Genmed was appointed as SWLEOC’s managed service partner in June 2016 to provide financial and operational efficiencies for SWLEOC in all its non-clinical areas. As part of the ongoing partnership, Genmed funded and procured all the required equipment and project managed the complete theatre development project, by converting offices previously used for administration.
Mary Richardson, SWLEOC Hospital Director said: “The new orthopaedic theatre six and pre-assessment area are a fantastic facility for patients. The pre-assessment area provides the privacy and dignity patients require whilst getting ready for surgery as well as an excellent facility for our anaesthetists and surgeons.
The new theatre is an extremely modern facility with excellent technology, including to observe surgery as it takes place as well as providing a great teaching opportunity for trainee doctors.”
Genmed’s Director of Operations, Jolene Rayner, said: “We are delighted to be HSJ Partnership Awards finalists for the second year running. I would like to thank everyone involved with the new theatre project and everyone in the Genmed team who have supported the project. We are very proud of what has been accomplished and the benefits this will deliver for SWLEOC patients and staff.”
Winners will be announced at the Awards ceremony at Westminster Park Plaza, London on March 24th, 2022.
