With over 450,000 cataracts undertaken in the NHS every year, the waiting times at the local hospitals are generally a hindrance to patient well-being. CHEC, through our Shared Care Partners Programme, delivers cataract surgery faster than any other provider in the UK and maintains exceptionally high standards of outcomes. The workflow of how efficiency is delivered centres around using the skills of all stakeholders at every part of the pathway. Our treatment timelines show how this works in many places through the shared care model.
