About this Workshop<\/strong><\/p>\n

Day-stay hysterectomy has been an established treatment pathway in the United States for several years and is increasingly gaining traction within the United Kingdom. Implementing day-case surgery offers numerous benefits, including significant reductions in hospital costs through decreased length of stay, lowered overall complication rates, and the preservation of patient safety and satisfaction.<\/p>\n

This workshop is designed for healthcare professionals seeking to develop and implement a day-stay hysterectomy program within their institutions. Drawing on the expertise of leading teams from Australia and New Zealand, participants will gain valuable insights into diverse healthcare systems and practical guidance from program directors, clinical nurse specialists, and anaesthetists.<\/p>\n

Attendees will receive comprehensive support, from the initial planning stages through to the establishment of a fully operational program. The session will also address both the advantages and potential challenges associated with day-stay hysterectomy, culminating in an interactive panel discussion and Q&A.<\/p>\n
