Marisa Consultancy has once again demonstrated its expertise in delivering transformative healthcare solutions by implementing a comprehensive Theatre Managed Service at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. This initiative not only brought about substantial financial benefits but also elevated the Trust’s standards of clinical excellence.

The Challenge

Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, one of the largest NHS trusts in the UK, was facing increasing pressure to optimise its theatre operations amidst growing patient demand and resource constraints. Inefficiencies in stock management, and staffing were impacting both costs and the quality of patient care.

The Solution

Marisa Consultancy stepped in to support an innovative partnership with a supplier for a fully managed theatre service model tailored to the unique needs of the Trust. This holistic approach encompassed:

• Optimised stock management system to maximise utilisation and reduce wastage.

• Standardised products to streamline procurement and obtain better value for money.

• Continuous relationship management and stakeholders engagement by Marisa to ensure consistency and quality in surgical support.

• Real-time performance monitoring with key metrics to drive continuous improvement.

The Impact

The results were both immediate and long-lasting:

• Significant Cost Savings: By consolidating procurement processes and improving resource utilisation, the Trust experienced measurable financial efficiencies.

• Enhanced Patient Outcomes: Reduced cancellations and delays translated to better patient satisfaction and improved clinical results.

• Operational Excellence: Theatre throughput increased, supported by robust data-driven decision-making.

• Staff Satisfaction: Clinicians and support teams benefited from a more organised and predictable environment, improving efficiency and reducing cancellations.

A Model for the Future

The success of this project has positioned Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust as a benchmark for other NHS trusts seeking to modernise their theatre operations without compromising care quality. Marisa Consultancy’s commitment to innovation, efficiency, and excellence was at the instrumental in this transformation.
