Topic : News and Press Type : Press Release
Responding to the latest NHS England performance figures, which show that elective performance has reached its highest level in more than five years, Ravi Chana, Executive Director, Diagnostics, at ABHI, said:
"These figures are an encouraging indication of progress in reducing waiting times, particularly against a backdrop of sustained pressure on NHS services. NHS staff deserve enormous credit for their continued efforts to deliver more care for patients.
"Medical devices, diagnostics and other HealthTech innovations are fundamental to this progress. From the diagnostic tests and scans that enable earlier diagnosis, to the surgical technologies and equipment that support more efficient treatment, HealthTech plays a vital role at every stage of the patient pathway.
"As the NHS looks to build on this momentum, ensuring patients can benefit from proven technologies will be essential. Working in partnership with industry to accelerate adoption, improve productivity and make the best use of available capacity can help the NHS deliver more timely care, reduce pressure on services and improve outcomes for patients."
