Collaboration is key: Bringing together UK Versius surgeons to share best practices

Taking a step back to reflect can give us great opportunities to learn, to contribute new ideas, and to support one another. As I approach my first year as General Manager for the UK and Ireland, I am reflecting on how in this time we have seen significant growth in the adoption of Versius, have partnered with the Welsh government to introduce a world first national robotic strategy, and we’ve worked collaboratively, supporting healthcare professionals all across the UK with their use of Versius.

The surgical landscape in the UK is not without its challenges, and the post-pandemic NHS faces several key challenges. The backlog of elective surgery caused by delays due to the pandemic mean that over 7.2 million people¹ are waiting for treatment, whilst HCPs are stretched further than ever amid widespread staff shortages and tightened budgets.

At CMR Surgical, we’re passionate about driving innovation and improving patient outcomes through the use of surgical robotics – and are committed to supporting healthcare professionals with the tools and resources they need to deliver the best possible care to their patients. Amid the challenges facing the NHS, we value opportunities to bring together healthcare professionals to reflect, collaborate, and support one another.

Earlier this month we were delighted to welcome Versius surgeons from all across the UK to Cambridge to network, share their experiences with Versius and to collaborate with each other. Attendees heard about the latest updates from CMR Surgical, including new features in our Versius digital ecosystem. They also had the opportunity to learn from each other and share information on new procedures, set-ups and approaches with Versius; alongside key learnings, and visions for the future. With further bettering patient outcomes a key topic across both days, surgeons were able to share their expertise with their peers and openly discuss how to best achieve this.
