It was a real pleasure working on this project led by @kristinawk.bsky.social This co-designed framework provides a clear and practical structure for thinking about quality of perioperative care.
Nearly 10m people have surgery in the UK yearly & need good perioperative care. Our rapid evidence review & participatory exercise highlighted 10 key areas. We worked with patients, carers, clinicians & managers to develop a quality framework.

A few months ago, we shared the perioperative quality framework. Today, we’re excited to share our new publication detailing the methods behind it, developed with an outstanding group of collaborators. Read the full paper here: ths.im/4bxxpNU

It's now 20 years since we came up with the candidacy framework for explaining access to healthcare. Now, our scoping review shows how candidacy has been used in research on access to general practice. It seems to be useful and actionable - good news! journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....?

Nearly 10 million people have surgery every year in the UK – how do we ensure quality care before, during & after? We asked patients, carers & staff to help develop an evidence-based framework. View the framework, with its 10 categories & 28 core indicators: ths.im/3IV6gbk

This week on BBC Radio’s Healthcheck, I shared thoughts on new research showing that oral healthcare before surgery can cut hospital stay & lower pneumonia risk. Should oral healthcare be part of standard pre-op care? 🎧 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Great to start to share this work. In the context of the conference, it was nice to see how the framework and our development method could fit into ongoing research focused on evaluating different changes to care pathways to support the 10 year plan. #HSRUK25
