Tideway
Theatre lists planned on your own data, and a debrief that gets acted on.
What it is
A set of AI-assisted tools built at the Trust by a working surgeon. One plans each theatre list on the consultant's own recorded operating times. The other runs a structured debrief at the end of every list, so the problems theatre teams keep hitting reach the people who can act on them.
The aim
More patients treated in the theatre time we already have, planned by the people who know the work.

Data pulled from Mr Rob MacAdam's Upper GI lists, from Trust BI data, with no extra theatre time or staff. Urology results will be added as lists run.
How it works
The list is built on the consultant's own recorded times.
Planning the list
Planning the list
Today, the time allowed for each operation is the best estimate of whoever fills in the booking form. Tideway adds each consultant's own recorded operating times, with anaesthetic time and turnaround included, so the plan starts from what has happened on your lists.
The debrief
What got in the way is captured at the end of every list: kit not there, patients not ready, safety concerns, and how demanding the list was for the team. Each recurring problem gets an owner and an answer.
What it means for you
Consultants
Your timings, your list, your call.
Admissions clerks
A conversation with the tool, and a plan you can forward as it stands.
Theatre teams
Your say at the end of every list, and what you say gets heard and dealt with.

What's happeningTideway began on Mr Rob MacAdam’s own Upper GI lists, where completed cases per session rose and less theatre time went unused. On the strength of those results, the Trust has backed a demonstrator in urology, as the first step towards using Tideway across the Trust.
The demonstrator runs from November to February. It tests one question: when different consultants, clerks and theatre teams use Tideway in a different department, do they see the same kind of result?
