Launch of the new enhanced recovery publication 'Fulfilling the potential: a better journey for patients, a better deal for the NHS'
We have seen spread and adoption of enhanced recovery pathways to many specialities beyond the original four surgical specialities. Our challenge now is to ensure that all patients that can benefit from this approach do so. This publication shows professionals and commissioners how this can be achieved.
'My role and my responsibilities in helping to improve my recovery'
This patient leaflet has been designed, tested and evaluated by patients for patients in order to give practical step by step advice to anyone prior, during and after surgery. It can be used alongside existing patient information to support key messages and encourage patients to take an active role in their preparation and recovery from surgery .
