Our day surgery virtual conferences provide practical guidance for developing your day case surgery service, including role development and improving the day case surgical pathway. Conferences will focus on quality of care and learning from and improving clinical outcomes. Each event includes the opportunity for discussion with the speakers, experts from BADS and participants from across the UK which will be of interest to those with medical and nursing backgrounds.
Since the Covid-19 pandemic the NHS has described an “emergency in elective care” with waiting lists escalating and surgical bed availability greatly diminished. Never has it been more important to deliver high quality efficient surgical pathways which maximise productivity and minimise length of stay in order to tackle the escalating waiting lists and to reduce the impact on the valuable and vanishingly rare resource of elective surgical beds. HCUK and BADS are collaborating to deliver a series of one day virtual conferences aimed at improving day surgery pathways across a range of surgical specialties:
Orthopaedics
General Surgery
Gynaecology
Breast Surgery
Urology
