Improving and Enhancing Perioperative Medicine

Improving and Enhancing Perioperative Medicine is organized by Healthcare Conferences UK and would be held on Oct 13, 2016 at Hallam Conference Centre, London, England, United Kingdom.

This second national UK conference, which is aimed at all members of the multidisciplinary perioperative team, focuses on improving and enhancing perioperative medicine with a focus on high risk surgical patients and those with comorbid conditions following the 2015 report by the Royal College of Anaesthetists.

Through national updates , and practical case studies the conference aims to improve the perioperative pathway for these patients, improving patient outcomes and efficiency.
The aim of perioperative medicine is to deliver the best possible care for patients, before, during and after major surgery”

“There is a growing body of evidence that the needs of the high-risk surgical patient are not being met. As a result, patients who are older or have significant medical problems are offered major surgery in a system that cannot adjust to minimize their risk of complications… The majority of complications which occur after surgery are not due to technical errors or failures by the surgical team, but are medical complications such as pneumonia or myocardial infarction. The prevention and treatment of these medical complications requires a broader approach than we currently take to the care of the surgical patient.
