This meeting will provide an excellent opportunity for discussion of these issues with experts from BADS and from specialist units across the UK. It will be of interest to those with medical, nursing and managerial backgrounds.
We shall hear from centres who have developed dedicated emergency ambulatory units and those where individual pathways have transformed practice. Practical examples of how to set up ambulatory surgical pathways will be shared as well as lectures bringing up to date guidance on the essential components of a day surgery pathway and current advice on patient selection for day surgery.
