A Joint British Association of Day Surgery & HCUK Virtual Conference
The British Association of Day Surgery are pleased to announce this virtual conference focusing on Day Case Total Hip Replacements
The number of patients waiting for orthopaedic surgery remains at record levels, more than 800,000 in march 2023 following the huge disruption caused by Covid-19 and more recently the industrial action with the NHS.
In response to the Governments Elective Recovery Plan and Get It Right First Time (GIRFT) programme, it is clear we must work differently to reduce variation and respond to these unprecedented waits. With continued pressure on in-patient beds, Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Surgery presents an ideal opportunity to explore and expand the possibilities to increase day surgery activity.
Increasing the delivery of day case across the NHS is achievable and it is important to share learning so that day case becomes the normal in units across the UK. This one day virtual conference will discuss briefly the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on foot and ankle surgery. It will highlight key aspects of the day surgery pathway, the importance of the multidisciplinary team, regional anaesthesia and using data in delivering successful day case foot and ankle surgery.
National experts from the British Association of Day Surgery and leading Orthopaedic units will share experience including:
How to develop a high-class day surgery service
Analgesia for day case arthroplasty
Use of short acting spinal anaesthesia or general anaesthetia for major orthopaedic day surgery procedures
Pathways and protocols for day case arthroplasty
Pitfalls to avoid and obstacles to overcome – how they did it
This conference will enable you to:
Network with colleagues who are working to improve day surgery orthopaedic services
Learn from outstanding practice in day surgery arthroplasty
Reflect on national developments and learning
Understand how you can improve your day surgery pathways
Identify key strategies for implementation of a day surgery joint replacement service
Ensure you are up to date with the latest national practice
Self assess and reflect on your own practice
