Up to 25% of the 7 million patients on waiting lists in the UK are waiting for surgery.

Preparing patients is key to reduce last minute cancellations, prepare patients to reduce risk, reduce length of stay and improve overall quality of life.

Here's some advice on how to improve your physical and mental health before your op: https://t.co/LJCNp78hfZ

[Centre for Perioperative Care @CPOC_News]

With nearly 6.5 million UK patients on surgical waiting lists, preparation for surgery is crucial.

Patients need to be supported to reduce the risk of post-operative complications.

Adopting a healthy lifestyle is key to improve quality of life post-op.

It has never been so important to ensure patients are prepared for surgery.

With the surgical backlog, it is key to optimise patients to reduce the risk of adverse postoperative outcomes.

'Waiting lists are preparation lists.'
