MKUH Super Paediatric Surgery Day 2023

Milton Keynes University Hospital (MKUH) held a Super Paediatric Day in March 2023 in theatres – running a children-only list and treating 43 of our youngest patients in one day.

The list was limited to three procedures – grommets, adenoids and oral and maxillofacial surgery. These were selected because they are known as high volume low complexity cases (HVLC) and are more simple and straightforward operations to perform.

On Super Paediatric Day, no adult cases were seen in theatres and the Day Surgery Unit was transformed into a child-friendly zone with the addition of colourful decorations, the support of our play specialists and a welcome gift bag to keep youngsters entertained while they waited for their operations.
