NHS Elective Care Conference South 2023
The NHS is accelerating the delivery of operations and other non-urgent services as part of an £8.1 billion plan to help the health service recover all patient services following the intense winter wave of COVID. NHS England
The new elective recovery tech fund has been established to support organisations across the NHS in England to accelerate the uptake of digitally supported care and offer it to more patients. The focus is on supporting people having surgery and in need of specialist advice.
Up to £250 million has been made available to Integrated Care Systems in this financial year. The fund is intended to improve patients' experience and health outcomes across planned care, or elective, pathways. This funding is part of a £700 million Targeted Investment Fund the purpose of which is to speed up elective recovery and tackle waiting lists.
Our upcoming conference will aim to take a look under the hood of this huge investment and strategy and identify some key challenges and practical insights that have been identified over recent months.
In support of the NHS, we provide fully funded and CPD accredited attendance to all relevant NHS based senior managers and leaders.

Assistant Director – Children and Young People’s Transformation Programme
NHS England
The Delivery plan for tackling the COVID-19 backlog of elective care highlighted that long waits before accessing planned care can have life-long consequences on the development of children and young people (CYP). To ensure the recovery of paediatric services keeps pace with the recovery of adult elective care, NHS England’s Elective Recovery Programme and Children and Young People’s Transformation Programme formed a delivery group with regional colleagues to oversee and accelerate progress.
In May 2023 providers, systems and regions were asked to ensure elective recovery plans included actions to accelerate CYP recovery. Since then, a recovery toolkit has been published to support this and a national drive started in June 2023 in the form of a series of webinars and roundtables to share and spread positive practice. Regional governance arrangements have also been established to strengthen oversight.
This session will explore actions needed to drive progress for children and young people, including plans that have been put in place nationally and how they have translated at a regional level.

How to fix waiting lists around Musculoskeletal Care
Fernando Correia, MD PhD
Founding Team & SVP Clinical Affairs
Sword Health
Musculoskeletal represents one of the biggest pain points for the NHS today. Nearly a third of the UK’s population has an MSK condition causing pain and reduced quality of life. Unfortunately, and despite of the strong demand, access to care continues to be hard and often exceeds 6 weeks for physiotherapy and 2 years for surgery.
Sword Health developed an in-home virtual solution that pairs members with physiotherapists and the Sword Health Digital Therapist, to deliver a clinically proven, personalized treatment plan that is more effective, more accessible and less expensive.
During the presentation, we will walk you through how an innovative member journey supported by a 30 patents technology can tackle waiting lists, highlighting the clinical and economical outcomes from 22 peer-reviewed papers.

- How to deliver early preoperative assessment and optimisation, turning waiting lists into preparation lists (medical optimisation as well as prehabilitation through lifestyle modification, exercise, nutrition and psychological preparation.
- Shared decision making through consideration of risks and benefits of surgery in the context of other co-existing health and social care issues.
- Promotion of day surgery, particularly relevant to a high risk population such as people living with dementia or medical conditions such as diabetes.
- Planning of flow through the hospital.
- Evidence based postoperative care; prevention and early, evidence based treatment of medical complications, focussed rehabilitation and safe, effective, timely discharge (to reduce LOS, readmissions and utilisation of healthcare resource across community and secondary care).

Demand tools/techniques for demand management and ongoing care for the patient (Confirmed)
Mr Anil Vara
Director, Elective Care & Recovery
North Yorkshire and Humber ICB
The Four Humber and North Yorkshire Acute Trusts have come together to form a provider alliance, The Humber and North Yorkshire Collaboration of Acute Providers (CAP). All four Trusts have committed to work together in partnership with each other and with all other system providers to deliver high quality and sustainable hospital services that meet the needs of the population, focusing on harmonising ways of working to reduced unwarranted variation, exploring opportunities to deliver more sustainable services at scale, ensuring these services can meet the needs of the population and ensure the best patient experience and outcomes.
The ambition of the HNY Elective Recovery Programme is to deliver the milestones set out in within the National elective strategy, which is to achieve reduction of zero of patients over 65 weeks by March 2024. Since April 2023, the waiting list continues to grow, however, HNY is committed to reducing the waiting list size and controlling growth which is fundamental to the recovery of our elective services, reducing long waits and sustaining an adequate waiting time for all new patients. As part of our outpatient transformation programme we have been piloting a digital method to support easier ways to provide referral advice and to conduct referral triaging whilst reducing the burden on administration. In addition, our Connected for Health network pilot is a novel way of working which does not follow the traditional referral pathway between primary and secondary care. Instead, the model sees hospital specialists or GPs with an Enhanced Role working in partnership with GPs to provide rapid advice, guidance, support and management plans for patients.
