This piece gives you the evidence base required to deliver an even higher standard of perioperative medicine where you work. Hear about the “Fit 4 surgery” studies; the “fit 4 surgery consortium”, the ongoing e-studies, key findings, recent studies and the set up in Southampton.

Physical fitness is greatly affected by chemotherapy; poor outcomes are significantly linked to physical fitness; learn how preoperative cardio-pulmonary exercise testing and training can monitor and track this potentially dangerous spiral. Hear how multiple studies are now providing a clear evidence base for this exciting area of perioperative care.

Could more such targeted interventions, alongside shared decision making, provide a real difference to outcomes for your patients and a higher standard of value based care in your institution?
