Glanso UK founder, UHBW consultant anaesthetist Dr Rasburn, told the BBC the firm came into its own during the Covid lockdown when operating theatres were generally closed for routine work.
Dr Rasburn said, for example, that a typical NHS list saw 2.7 gallbladder operations completed a day.
But he said his firm’s teams were able to “go much quicker” as they were made up of only senior clinicians and theatre staff, who were not teaching as they worked.
He said a Glanso list on a Saturday would complete seven cases.
“What we found in working this way, [is that] we got through more cases for any given time,” he added.
Dr Rasburn said Glanso UK’s model was safe, adding people volunteering for shifts were able to work in their own environment, with their colleagues, which he said also “helps with the efficiency”.
He said Glanso UK had treated more than 1,000 children since 2019.
