A Joint British Association of Day Surgery & HCUK Virtual Conference
The UK is recognised internationally for excellence in day surgery, driven by clinical innovation, strong leadership and a commitment to delivering high-quality, efficient care. As Surgical Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) continues to transform emergency surgery, this conference brings together the clinicians leading that change.
Join experts and peers from across the UK to explore how ambulatory emergency surgery pathways are improving patient outcomes, reducing unnecessary admissions and making better use of NHS resources. Through real-world case studies, practical implementation advice and the latest evidence, you’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to develop or enhance your own SDEC service.
Throughout the day you’ll have the opportunity to connect with colleagues facing similar challenges, share experiences, discuss solutions and build valuable professional networks.
This conference will enable you to:
Learn the essential principles of successful Surgical Same Day Emergency Care pathways
Hear how leading organisations have implemented and scaled ambulatory emergency surgery services
Understand how data, benchmarking and technology can drive improvement
Identify practical strategies to enhance patient flow, outcomes and efficiency
Network with clinicians and service leaders from across the UK
