GOLD: SAH Diagnostics & Leicester Trust: From The Most Deteriorating 62-Day Cancer Backlog In The Country, To The Top Three Most Improved Trusts

In summer 2022, SAH Diagnostics’ collaboration with Leicester Trust addressed a mounting backlog of cancer patients, primarily within the urology department. SAH introduced innovative solutions, including the world’s first mobile urology clinic and insourced services at Leicester General Hospital. This partnership resulted in the clearance of the backlog, with over 300 prostate biopsies performed in six months. Moreover, SAH’s contribution extended beyond service delivery, including training local staff, enhancing clinical processes, thus transforming LGH from having the most deteriorating backlog of cancer patients in the country to one of the most improved within the NHS tiering system.
