About
Dr. Sarah Reade is a pioneering surgeon-researcher at the forefront of integrating telepresence and robotics into routine surgical ward care. Her work addresses a critical gap: while operating theatres have been transformed by technology, postoperative ward-based care has seen little innovation. Dr. Reade’s landmark 2018 study, “Robot-assisted surgical ward rounds: virtually always there,” demonstrated how telepresence robots enable off-site clinicians to conduct meaningful, real-time patient interactions—boosting efficiency and continuity of care. With 21 citations, this paper has sparked a growing movement toward “virtual rounding” in surgical departments worldwide. Dr. Reade’s contributions extend beyond the ward; she is a vocal advocate for human-centered design in surgical robotics, ensuring that technology enhances—rather than replaces—the patient-clinician bond. Her work has been recognized with early-career awards from the Royal College of Surgeons and features in leading health-tech policy discussions. For students and researchers, Dr. Reade exemplifies how a focused, translational approach can reshape everyday clinical practice, proving that innovation in surgery isn’t limited to the scalpel.
