Day surgery is now provided for an increasing range of procedures, in patients ranging from the very fit to the rather frail. It has become the standard of care for many elective surgery procedures and should be the default option for all 200 procedures within the BADS Directory of Procedures.

The Covid-19 pandemic has put extraordinary strain on hospital services, staff and facilities with hospitals having to restructure pathways and spaces. During the first wave, the majority of elective surgery was suspended resulting in long delays for elective and some urgent surgery. The recovery of elective surgery in the NHS depends not only on the needs to address the back log of patients now requiring treatment but also the recognition that many patients remain increasingly reluctant to come into hospital.

It is therefore essential to rapidly develop provision for elective and urgent surgery via efficient day case pathways:
• To tackle expanding waiting lists
• To reduce the secondary impact of Covid-19 relating to morbidity associated with delayed surgery
• To provide an environment and pathway which enables patients to attend with confidence.
• To meet patient preference for day surgery over inpatient care.
