Smith+Nephew entered into a strategic partnership with Standard Health to support development of the first-ever Orthopaedic Ambulatory Surgery Centre in the UK. Based in Poole, Dorset, the new centre will offer NHS and private patients access to leading joint repair and replacement technology for conditions such as rotator cuff repair, ACL reconstruction, knee and hip replacement and foot & ankle/hand & wrist procedures.
Standard Health is a clinical healthcare provider, responsible for site development and operation of the facility with Smith+Nephew supplying its innovative portfolio of medical technologies. Standard Health expects to open a further 10 additional UK sites in the following three years and 20 in total by 2030.
The new center in Poole will cover day and overnight-stay cases which comprise the vast majority of orthopaedic procedures. It will mirror the Ambulatory Surgery Center model in the U.S., where Smith+Nephew is a partner to many sports medicine and orthopaedic facilities.
“The Standard Health Orthopaedic Ambulatory Surgical Centre model will bring the benefits long enjoyed by US patients to those on waiting lists in the UK,” said Craig Gaffin, President of Global Orthopaedics at Smith+Nephew. “Our expertise with ASCs and broad portfolio of solutions will ensure that facilities and patients have access to world-class orthopaedic, sports medicine and wound management medical technology to help surgeons deliver an outstanding experience.”
