Wrightington Hospital is a 'Centre of Excellence' for Orthopaedic Surgery
Plans to build a brand new theatre at Wrightington Hospital have been tabled in the hope they reduce waiting lists.
The ambition is for around 1,200 high-volume, low complexity orthopaedic procedures per year to be carried out within the new facility.Orthopaedics is the largest volume elective specialty in Greater Manchester, so this additional capacity would aid the reduction of NHS waiting lists across the region, according to WWL.
WWL’s Director of Strategy and Planning, Richard Mundon said: “I am delighted that we have been able to attract this level of external investment to provide more of the excellent orthopaedic services that thousands of patients already receive every year at Wrightington.
