Verbatim
“It gave us an opportunity to emphasise how much of a contribution robotic-assisted surgery can make to patient care making it safer and with shorter lengths of stay in hospital.”
“Our ambition is to become a key provider of robotic-assisted surgery in the region and to lead the way in providing the kinds of innovative surgery this technology enables.”
“It enables small incisions, precise work in hard-to-reach areas, faster recovery and much less need to travel out-of-county for cancer surgery.”

Recent UK press coverage of their topics, not necessarily citing them directly.
Professors, researchers and think-tank analysts quoted on the strength of their research rather than a clinical role. Citations are counted by an automated scan of UK press coverage and may be incomplete. Roles, biographies and contact details are researched and human-reviewed before they appear here; anything not yet reviewed is simply absent rather than shown unverified.
