About the webinar

Emergency surgery commonly involves operating on a highly compromised patient where small mistakes can have major consequences. In this lecture, we shall explore strategies that can be introduced to any practice to help improve surgical efficiency and improve outcomes. These will include both technical aspects of surgery and organisational structures designed to help the surgical team function as a high performing unit.
You will be able to join the live webinar directly from this page.
