Our theatres
We have five fully integrated theatres. Our Theatre Manager was involved in the design and set up of the theatre space at KIMS Hospital which has allowed us to create a highly efficient system. Our patients benefit from this as it minimises the time spent under anaesthetic and in surgery. Our three orthopaedic theatres, all have state-of-the-art laminar flow systems which help to maintain clean air flow and ventilation in the operating theatre during a procedure. This is particularly important for orthopaedic patients as it helps to reduce the risk of infection.
At KIMS Hospital, we are proud to say that our infection rates remain at 0%.*
*no mandatory reports of MRSA, C. Difficle or any other blood stream infection, correct as of April 2017
