Meeting RTT Targets Without Compromising Quality: Our Approach at MedSurg
In today’s NHS landscape, hitting Referral to Treatment (RTT) targets is no longer just a performance metric, it’s a matter of patient trust, clinical urgency, and system-wide efficiency. At MedSurg Elective Care, we understand the pressures NHS Trusts face, and our model is designed to deliver timely, consultant-led elective services without sacrificing clinical standards.
Why RTT Targets Matter
RTT targets are a cornerstone of the NHS commitment to patient care, ensuring patients begin treatment within 18 weeks of referral. However, with elective backlogs growing, meeting these targets can feel like a constant uphill battle.
The MedSurg Solution: Rapid, Responsible Delivery
Our clinical insourcing model provides a reliable, vetted workforce of specialists across high-demand areas like general surgery, orthopaedics, ENT, ophthalmology, and diagnostics. We mobilise quickly, integrate with existing NHS systems, and deliver care on-site during evenings and weekends, all while upholding robust clinical governance.
How We Maintain Quality While Hitting Targets:
