There is a requirement for an expansive and up to date review of the management of emergency colorectal conditions seen in adults. The primary objective is to provide detailed evidence‐based guidelines for the target audience of general and colorectal surgeons who are responsible for an adult population and who practise in Great Britain and Ireland.
The Clinical Governance Board would like to remind Association members of the principles of consent, especially for high-risk procedures. A patient-centred approach should be adopted, following the principles laid out in the recently updated GMC guidance on decision making and consent.
