Anaesthetic and Recovery SIG

The Anaesthetic Recovery and Day Surgery (ARDS) Specialist Interest Group (SIG) is for all healthcare professionals working and interested in these areas of perioperative care including practice development and practice educators.

The importance of Day Surgery in the current post-Covid 29 context, can’t be underestimated. Working as a well-oiled machine, the Day Surgery setup following the Getting it Right First Time (GIRFT) model has the potential to be decisive in clearing up the backlog of operations nationwide.

The ARDS SIG has been created to allow theatre practitioners to network and address issues related to best standards of practice in these three areas, thus contributing to a smooth collaboration, interplay and rotation of staff as the new way forward.
