Abstract

Surgical hubs are protected facilities dedicated entirely to elective care, with ringfenced resources that allow them to stay active even when emergency pressures rise. These hubs are now seen as a key resource for more robust and sustainable elective services, backed by bodies such as NHS England and the Royal College of Surgeons of England. The importance of a well-trained workforce to staff these hubs cannot be overstated. While evidence for the benefits of surgical hubs for patient care continues to come out, this article will focus instead on the potential benefits for staff. Four case studies will be examined, looking at the experiences of the people who work in these hubs to explore how they can be harnessed as a tool to improve training, retention and overall staff experience.
