NHS Lanarkshire has launched Operation FLOW – a positive and ambitious plan to reduce service pressures and improve patient care and experience.
A video which gives an overview of Operation FLOW is available using the links below:

Plans are developing rapidly across the whole health and care system in Lanarkshire to reset our system to improve flow through our acute hospitals.
Improving hospital flow can lead to better patient outcomes, increased capacity, improved staff satisfaction and improved patient safety. It can also help reduce wait times and improve overall patient satisfaction.
Operation FLOW (Focused, Lanarkshire, Optimal, Whole System) is divided into three stages:
- Stage 1, Preparation & Reset, which is currently underway;
- Stage 2, Firebreak, which will take place from 23 February to 3 March 2023; and
- Stage 3, Maintaining Good Flow, which will involve the implementation of a new flow model.
