A wide range of breast procedures, including many oncoplastic surgeries, can be delivered as a day case with good clinical outcomes and excellent patient experience. Back
Despite these benefits, significant variation in day surgery performance persists nationally, usually, because of misperceptions that such practice is unsafe or requires complicated service reconfiguration.
The number of patients waiting for elective surgery now is at record levels, the highest in the history of the NHS. Day-case management is a safe, efficient pathway for delivering breast cancer surgery and is liked by cancer patients and their families. Maximising day case rates is therefore a key component of the government’s Elective Recovery Plan and will release valuable inpatient resources.
The aim of this one-day virtual conference, produced by the British Association of Day Surgery, is to provide an opportunity to share learning about successful day-case breast surgery and showcase what can be achieved, including key aspects of the day surgery pathway, current guidance and using data in its successful delivery.
Join us to learn how this is achievable for our patients.
This conference will enable you to:
- Network with colleagues who are working to improve delivery of day-case breast surgery
- Learn from outstanding practice in day case breast surgery
- Identify key strategies for implementation of day case breast surgery
- Ensure you are up to date with the latest national practice and recommendations
- Self-assess and reflect on your own practice
- Support your CPD professional development and provide revalidation evidence. This course provides 5 Hrs training for CPD subject to peer group approval for revalidation purposes
