In terms of surgery, the trust stated that compared to traditional keyhole surgery, robotic surgery allowed “greater dexterity” and was easier to manipulate as “the instruments are controlled by a surgeon at a console using a 3D camera”.
It also said it used My Pre-Op, an online pre-operative assessment questionnaire allowing patients to fill in an assessment at home before their procedure.
This “reduces hospital visits and helps a patient be fit for surgery”, the trust added.
It stated digital technology used to deliver better patient care, boost productivity and streamline services at the trust had received government praise.
Kyle said: “To hear about all the different technologies being explored safely was inspiring.
“It was fantastic to hear and see how robotic surgery is benefiting patients by enabling shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery times for patients.”
