A Joint British Association of Day Surgery & HCUK Virtual Conference The British Association of Day Surgery are pleased to announce this virtual conference focusing on Day Case Total Hip Replacements. The number of patients waiting for orthopaedic surgery remains at record levels, more than 800,000 in march 2023 following the huge disruption caused by Covid-19 and more recently the industrial action with the NHS. In response to the Governments Elective Recovery Plan and Get It Right First Time (GIRFT) programme, it is clear we must work differently to reduce variation and respond to these unprecedented waits. With continued pressure on in-patient beds, Day Case Total Hip Replacement Surgery presents an ideal opportunity to explore and expand the possibilities to increase day surgery activity. 20% discount with code hcuk20boa to BOA members.

A Joint British Association of Day Surgery & HCUK Virtual Conference Elective recovery still remains a significant focus of the NHS. Although progress has been made on long waits, waiting list numbers remain at record highs and in response The Elective Recovery Taskforce has been set up to help tackle this further. It is clear we must work differently to respond to these unprecedented waits and Day Case surgery offers us a way to help increase efficiencies and make an impact on these waiting times. Join us to see how units across the UK have been leading the journey to successful Day case arthroplasty. It has been proven to be safe, achievable and has been replicated across several trusts. Learn how to embark on your day case journey and also see how Elective hubs can increase day case numbers further. You will also see how digital technology can aid this and move us towards a more virtual way of working. 20% discount with code hcuk20boa for BOA members Follow the conference on X @HCUK_Clare #BADSknee
