NELA webinar: the impact of COVID-19 on emergency laparotomy in England and Wales

This webinar discusses the impact of the global pandemic on patients having emergency laparotomy, and importantly, how we can as an MDT build on what we have learnt over the last year to think differently about what makes high quality care for this high risk group of patients. Is ERAS possible for emergency laparotomy patients? Who else do we need to work with? Can this be achieved in a stretched workforce?
