Clinicians at Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust talking about how Post Op is used across their surgical service. They partner with patients to deliver great outcomes.
Agnes describes the weeks after discharge and her experience of using the application daily: photographing the wound each day, what the daily check-ins asked, and the 'human at the end of the line' support she received despite using a digital interface. She describes perfectly how technology can be a leverage for existing teams and not a clunky replacement.
Backed by evidence and case studies.
An economic evaluation of surgical departments before and after adopting Post Op. It measured the cost of avoidable GP appointments and Emergency Department attendances, avoidable deterioration of post-surgical complications, and the travel associated with follow-up.
