CPOC Consultation Live: Multiprofessional Capability Framework in Perioperative Care
CPOC is pleased to announce that a public consultation is now open for the draft Multiprofessional Capability Framework in Perioperative Care.
In October 2020 the CPOC Board approved a proposal to develop a framework for allied health professionals in perioperative care, in order to help meet the significant demand on surgical services in managing complex patients across their perioperative journey. CPOC were commissioned to undertake this work by Health Education England (HEE), currently NHS England.
The Mulit-professional Capability Framework in Perioperative Care was developed by the Centre for Perioperative Care in collaboration with a wealth of subject matter experts, patients and stakeholders. A list of contributors can be found in the FAQ's later on this page.
CPOC is continuing the development of this work independently of NHS England and is now sharing the draft framework for public consultation.
The purpose of this framework is two-fold: firstly, to describe the capabilities required for a practitioner to demonstrate their ability to manage and enable the holistic care of a person as they consider, prepare for and recover from surgery; and secondly, to develop senior evidence-based understanding of the whole perioperative service in order to help plan, manage and develop perioperative care services.
