CPOC and the British Geriatrics Society have brought together a multi-disciplinary working group to draft the first guideline for people living with frailty undergoing surgery that covers the whole perioperative pathway from referral and back to the community. The guideline includes key recommendations for each stage of the pathway. 

We are pleased to let you know that the draft Guideline for Perioperative Care for People living with Frailty Undergoing Elective and Emergency Surgery consultation is now open for comments. 

Deadline: 17:00 Thursday 29 July 2021.

Please note that the frailty pathway infographic, references and practical resources are currently being finalised in parallel to this consultation so these remain in draft form in the attachment. At this stage we are seeking comments on the content of the guideline and recommendations.
