Perioperative Learning Health Network webinar series on non-surgical pathways

The Centre of Clinical Excellence, Perioperative Learning Health Network invites you to the second of three webinars in our Best Care Pathways for Planned Surgery series.

Join us to discuss how investing in patient optimisation prior to surgery can led to better post operative outcomes and improved consumer satisfaction. We will explore the value of prehabilitation for postoperative outcomes and take a deep dive into different preoperative optimisation models, including education to prevent respiratory complications after major surgery and multidisciplinary preoperative clinics for older people.
