Last day to fill this in, survey closes at midnight 👇🏾🚨 We want to hear from everyone, including those who dont have prehab services set up. What should we prioritise in the next prehab guidelines??

Can prehabilitation improve outcomes after surgery in older adults? This meta-analysis of 16 studies found combined exercise, nutritional, and psychological prehabilitation (before abdominal surgery): - Reduced the risk of severe complications (by 44%) - Decreased length of hospital stay (by 1 day) - Improved functional capacity (6-minute walk test) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3830…
