As we look to build back better from the crisis, we must carefully consider how the system functions as a whole, placing patient outcomes and staff recovery at the top of our priority list.
It is for this reason that Mölnlycke commissioned a survey of 500 HCPs across the country, to look beyond the headline data on the elective care backlog and understand first-hand from HCPs more about the challenges they face.
The survey polled surgeons, nurses, procurement managers and operating theatre staff across health service organisations to achieve a comprehensive view of the impact that COVID-19 has had on elective care.
