01
The challenge
Operating theatres at Kestle’s four hospitals started late and finished early, while waiting lists grew.
02
What we did
With surgeons, anaesthetists and schedulers we rebuilt the booking rules, added a next-day readiness check, and gave each theatre a simple daily scorecard.
03
What changed
Utilisation rose 11 points in six months, adding the equivalent of 2,400 procedures a year.
“
It worked because it was our scorecard, not theirs.
