Event Overview
Improving patient outcomes after major surgery starts with prehabilitation.
Surgeons, anaesthetists, GPs, community teams and other members of the surgical care team* are invited to attend this one-day conference, which will explore the latest prehabilitation research and best practice.
Using the latest research from prehabilitation pilots taking place across the UK, attendees will be encouraged to consider and challenge their own methods of improving patients’ fitness ahead of major surgery.
Our speakers will consider the influence a patient’s physical and mental wellbeing can have on perioperative outcomes, and empower attendees to identify opportunities for collaboration and improvement of their current practice.
The conference, hosted by Professor Derek Alderson, President of the RCS and the RCS Council, is supported by the Royal College of Anaethetists. We welcome you to attend the drinks reception after the event from 5pm.
We are delighted to welcome Dr Chris Snowden who will be delivering the Webb Johnson Oration as part of the programme.
*Also welcome are ODPs, AHPs, QI staff and other interested members of the healthcare community.
What will I gain from attending?
- An understanding of the latest research, best practice and services available in the areas of community and in-hospital prehabilitation.
- An overview of improved methods and strategies, plus a practical approach for getting patients fit to survive surgery, with reference to community interventions.
- An understanding of the interplay between the NHS as primary or secondary care and charity organisations such as Macmillan Cancer Support.
