Sterile Services vital role in hospital surgery
Every day, roughly 230 patients have an operation at Cheltenham General Hospital and Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. It’s a figure that has been reduced during COVID-19, but surgery hasn’t stopped. People will always require surgery from unforeseen emergency traumas to maternity procedures, and Gloucestershire Managed Services’ Sterile Services department is critical to ensuring these operations can go ahead.
