Close it Quick - Ileostomy Closure QI Collaborative
The NBOCA report demonstrates unequivocally that ileostomy closure rates in England and Wales need major focus and attention with this situation only worsening following the impact of the pandemic on waiting lists. Our new QI Collaborative will empower surgical care teams across England and Wales to address this and improve patient care and patient experience.
