Discussion on how the new SPI tool can help reduce elective surgery cancellations this winter

Thank you to every who contributed to the Surgical Preparedness Index (SPI) study, which assessed hospitals and surgical volume for over 1600 centres in 119 countries. Congratulations to the network on the recent publication of this work in The Lancet.

We are delighted to announce our network CovidSurg webinar in our IRCAD/Medtronic series, where we will discuss how the SPI tool can now be applied to your hospital.

Join us as we dig deeper to explore:

  • Why every surgeon and anaesthetist should care about surgical preparedness?
  • How and when should I measure the SPI in my hospital?
  • How can the SPI be implemented to reduce cancellations of planned surgery?
  • Who else needs to be involved to maximise impact?
  • Which hospitals and settings could benefit the most?

This will be a unique, first global discussion of the SPI data and its impact on practice from a multidisciplinary panel – don’t miss it!

The webinar will be on Monday 28th November 2022

Time: 1900 BST (UK) | 1100 Los Angeles | 1400 New York | 1500 Brasilia | 2000 CET | 2100 Riyadh
