Day Surgery has become the standard of care for the majority of elective surgery. Until recently the drive to move from inpatient to day surgery management has been mainly directed at elective surgery, however, day surgery pathways for a range of emergency surgical procedures have now been successfully implemented in a number of units across the country.

We will be hearing from trusts across the country who have implemented ground-breaking day surgery pathways for emergency patients, which have transformed surgical services. We will hear how robust pathways have been in the face of Covid-19 and how they have met challenges brought on by the pandemic.

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.
