TACKLING WAITING LISTS IN ORTHOPAEDICS

Led by experienced orthopaedic clinicians, Agile Insourcing provides additional outpatient capacity to support NHS organisations facing pressure across elective orthopaedic pathways.

Orthopaedic services manage high volumes of patients requiring specialist assessment, investigation, treatment planning and follow-up. Capacity constraints can affect both first outpatient appointments and patients already progressing through elective pathways.

Our partnership approach allows us to provide targeted additional capacity across specific subspecialties or wider orthopaedic waiting lists. Our teams work alongside existing Trust services, aligning with local systems, SOPs, clinical pathways and governance arrangements.

Patient-centred and clinically safe, our outpatient services can support patients from initial consultation and diagnostic review through to treatment planning, follow-up, onward surgical pathways or discharge.

Clinical services can support areas including:

  • Hip and knee
  • Shoulder and elbow 
  • Hand and wrist 
  • Foot and ankle 
  • Upper limb conditions 
  • Lower limb conditions 
  • Osteoarthritis and degenerative joint conditions 
  • Soft-tissue and tendon conditions 
  • Post-operative orthopaedic reviews 
  • General elective 
  • Orthopaedic referrals

  • New patient orthopaedic clinics
  • Follow-up and review clinics
  • Referral validation and clinical triage
  • Specialist upper and lower limb clinics
  • Review of imaging and diagnostic investigations
  • Conservative treatment planning
  • Post-operative follow-up clinics
  • Assessment for onward surgical pathways
  • Treatment and management planning
  • Virtual follow-up where clinically appropriate
  • Onward referral or discharge in accordance with local pathways
