During the Covid pandemic, Spire South Bank Hospital has worked in collaboration with the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust to ensure patients with colorectal cancer continue to be diagnosed and treated.
Between April and December 2020 over 200 colorectal operations were performed at Spire South Bank Hospital on behalf of the NHS including 100 major bowel resections.
The hospital is proud to announce that this work will continue during the ongoing pandemic. The Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust’s colorectal team will utilise the excellent facilities and expert nursing staff at South Bank, ensuring that urgent colorectal operations are not affected for patients in Worcestershire.
Hospital Director Dawn Pickrell said “I am very proud of the team who have worked tirelessly since April for carrying on the excellent work. Their efforts really are making such a positive difference to so many people’s lives.
“To have completed this number of procedures and continue to work so hard under the current circumstances is a credit to everyone”.
