NHS achieves 23% surge in operations during rare efficiency drive at Heatherwood Hospital

Heatherwood Hospital in Berkshire completed a high-efficiency week, delivering 23% more surgeries than usual. Patients like Vanda Instone, waiting 48 weeks for a hip replacement, finally received treatment as surgeons doubled their daily output. The NHS is using these brief, intensive periods to tackle backlogs amid rising waiting times.
