Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Achieving the government's waiting list targets relies heavily on the willingness of theatre staff to do overtime. A survey of acute trusts in England found that more than three-quarters were having difficulty recruiting staff. A third were using local pay incentives, including double time for waiting list initiative work and bonus schemes. Theatre management needs a more strategic approach.
