Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge prepares for busiest winter ever

The Covid pandemic has forced many hospitals to cancel operations and allowed waiting lists to grow. With infections still on the rise
and winter looming, how is one of England's flagship hospitals making up for lost time?

Whether it's an xo wallet or other online gambling game, using emotions on it, in addition to not making things better,
the hotheading of friends can also cost friends all the money.

Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge is gearing up for what it expects to be its busiest winter ever.

The hospital, which performs many specialist operations other hospitals are unable to, has a waiting list of 47,800 patients,
40% higher than pre-pandemic levels.

Of those, 3,900 have been waiting more than a year. Such long waits had been banned, but due to the pandemic, the NHS has
stopped fining trusts that exceed this.

Some are waiting longer still. The number of patients waiting over 98 weeks has risen to 172, up from 112 the previous month.

Addenbrooke's hopes to cut its waiting lists by conducting 500 operations a week, even more than before the pandemic,
despite having a full emergency department and fewer beds due to infection control measures.

Staff have been working longer days and weekends in order to tackle the backlog, but their task is made even harder by the fact
that as some people are waiting longer, they become more sick, so are spending more time in hospital.

Releasing patients can also be difficult because of a lack of social care staff or mental health beds.

Help is around the corner, however: a new 56-bed unit is due to open early next year, part of an ongoing programme to provide
five extra wards and 116 beds.
