Here is <strong>their<\/strong> report on the implementation and success of their refurbishment programme so far:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Background<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>North Devon District Hospital is part of the Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust and the theatre complex has an inventory in excess of 1000 sets. The majority of sets are owned by the trust but this is supplemented with \u201cLoan and Consignment\u201d Orthopaedic sets.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Need for Change<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With the need for clinical efficiency and productivity in the theatres instrumentation is required to be efficient and fit for purpose.<br \/>\nLimited sets are being used with a high turnover affecting compliance, sharpness, tension, etc. New instruments are available to replace old, well used stock but the capital required for the instrumentation is hard to obtain.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Implementation<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To offset the need for capital to fund instrument replacements the CSSD and Theatres took the decision to try the Surgical Holdings option of refurbishing the instruments sets rather than disposing and purchasing new instruments. Instruments will either be refurbished back to new quality or replaced with new items for an inclusive price.<\/p>\n<p>A \u201cBasic\u201d set was delivered to Surgical Holdings on the understanding the returned set would be assessed by the theatre staff to ensure the returned items met the requirements of the clinical team; e.g. sharpness, tension, colour, glare (lack of), etc.<br \/>\nThe set passed the test and the remaining 22 \u201cBasic\u201d sets were refurbished on a rolling plan, the benefit of sending 1 set away at a time ensured a maximum stock level was available for clinical use.<br \/>\nFollowing the success of the 22 \u201cBasic\u201d sets a further 10 Oral Surgery Sets have been refurbished to the same standard.<br \/>\nCurrently we have a Large Ortho Basic back after refurbishment awaiting theatre approval.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Implications<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Finance<br \/>\nNo capital required to fund purchase<br \/>\nRevenue spend to fund refurbishment<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 CSSD<br \/>\nMinimum of sets out of service due to rolling programme<br \/>\nLess incomplete sets as items are like new on refurbished sets, not needing further repairs<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Theatre Staff<br \/>\nIncreased Clinical confidence \u2013 instruments like new<br \/>\nNot subject to shortage of sets during process<br \/>\nReduction in procurement process- process agreed then rolling work plan<br \/>\nClinical staff sign-off regarding quality<\/p>\n<p>Fraser Bishop, Facilities Clinical Services Manager Trust Decontamination Lead North Devon District Hospital<br \/>\n\u201cThe refurbishment of the theatre sets has allowed high usage instrumentation to be brought back up to a standard equal to new, this has been met with appreciation from the theatre medical and clinical staff and has ensured clinical requirement for sets has not been compromised.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_457\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-457\" style=\"width: 254px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.surgicalholdings.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Capture-rufurb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-457\" src=\"http:\/\/www.surgicalholdings.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Capture-rufurb-254x300.jpg\" alt=\"Before and After Refurbishment\" width=\"254\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.surgicalholdings.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Capture-rufurb-254x300.jpg 254w, https:\/\/www.surgicalholdings.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Capture-rufurb.jpg 475w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 254px) 100vw, 254px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-457\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Before and After Refurbishment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Surgical Holdings have been recently managing a refurbishment programme for North Devon District Hospital.
