NHS Elective Care Winter Pressures
Xyla Elective Care is a national elective care specialist with a proven track record in the delivery of flexible and scalable solutions to help NHS organisations. We support the NHS with delivery of elective care service across a range of specialties and pathways.
Our services can help you to maintain elective capacity despite the challenges posed by winter pressures.
We are able to deliver services within the acute setting, community or virtually.
“There’s an urgency of now to prepare, particularly in areas where there’s a long lead time. The decisions need to happen now, not wait until the autumn – by which time those lead times would put the resolution at too late a stage.”
Secretary of State for Health and Social Care
How Xyla Elective Care can mitigate NHS winter pressures
The range of services we provide — from virtual services and insourcing to the use of alternative community premises — supports Trusts to redirect their critical resources where needed, helping to alleviate winter pressures.
- Application of virtual wards to reduce throughput and length of stay in the acute setting, enabling admission avoidance and expedited discharge
- Advice, guidance and clinical triage of referrals in primary care to reduce referrals into secondary care
- Community-based elective care and insourced elective care capacity solutions, enabling Trusts to reallocate resources to focus on emergency and urgent care
- Measurable benefits, for operational and financial efficiency, with pricing shaped by national tariffs
- Services are shaped to comply with local service protocols and augmented local delivery with hybrid services if required
- Our solutions give additional capacity seven days per week or, for example, during evenings – and we can set up and manage different spaces for service delivery, including in community settings.

Here’s what one of our partners had to say
“I had a response back from the consultant in 49mins. Outcome was ‘Harmless Lesion. Discharged back to GP.’ The patient avoided the waiting list.”
