Glasgow-founded health technology company Infix says it has completed the rollout of its theatre scheduling software across Scotland’s 14 health boards and NHS Golden Jubilee.
Its main product, Infix Schedule, uses probabilistic modelling to help teams plan surgical theatre activity, with the aim of recovering capacity lost through inefficient scheduling.
Dr Matthew Freer, chief executive and co-founder of Infix, said: “Our technology gives NHS Scotland nationwide coverage with a system designed by clinicians and built inside the NHS to fix one of its most persistent problems, namely operating theatre capacity lost to inefficient scheduling.”
Freer credited digital and operational teams across NHS Scotland with helping to develop the system as well as adopting it.
He said: “Completing a national rollout in such a relatively short timeframe is testament not only to our team, but also to the digital and operational teams across NHS Scotland who helped make it happen – importantly, they didn’t just adopt the technology, they helped shape it.”
The company has also opened its first international office in Abu Dhabi as it pursues expansion beyond Scotland.
Infix secured a six-figure investment round at the end of 2025 and says it has made several senior appointments over the past year to support international growth.
Dr Freer said: “What we’ve proven in Scotland travels. Lost theatre capacity is a global problem, and health systems everywhere are asking the same question – how do we improve productivity within operating rooms without increasing capacity and staff? Taking a solution built inside the NHS to the UAE, and beyond, is the natural next step.”
