About Edyta's fellowship project
Title: Evaluation of the impact on waiting times for surgery at Colchester's new elective orthopaedic centre
The NHS Constitution sets out the referral to treatment standard that patients should wait no longer than 18 months from GP referral to treatment (NHS England,2024). The Darzi review of the NHS in England reports that in June 2024 7.6 million people are on a waiting list and 300.000 people have been waiting more than a year ( Darzi 2024).
The aim of this service evaluation is to determine the impact of Colchester new orthopaedic centre on waiting outcomes and elective recovery outcomes for patients undergoing total hip and knee replacements.
