The GIRFT report on Orthopaedic trauma shows national variation on Orthopaedic trauma being delivered as a day case and has identified an opportunity to improve patient care and release the pressure on inpatient beds. Increasing the delivery of day case orthopaedic trauma surgery across the NHS is achievable and it is important to share learning so that day case surgery becomes the normal in units across the UK. Attendance at this conference will allow delegates to hear from some of the teams delivering high levels of Day Case Orthopaedic Trauma Surgery, both for upper and lower limb trauma. Join us to see how units across the UK have been leading the journey to successful day surgery orthopaedic trauma delivery.
