The #SNAP3 team are pleased to share our new publication on post-op outcomes in older patients with frailty & multimorbidity.

Findings support universal frailty screening & more meaningful shared decision making. ow.ly/YWR350VZ4p7

The #SNAP3 audit gives insight into frailty & delirium in older surgical patients.

At #Anaesthesia2025 @claireswarbrick.bsky.social
highlights higher frailty = higher delirium risk. The solution? Routine frailty screening on patients over 60 before surgery.

A small step with big impact!

Good presentation by @claireswarbrick.bsky.social on delirium and anaesthesia, in my opinion probably the least understood and appreciated post-op complication, and one that as anaesthetists I think we can influence. #Anaesthesia2025

The anaesthetic national audit projects are some of the most powerful in the UK.

We have a sneak peek at #SNAP3, looking at our older surgical patients, their frailty and any delirium experienced.

Lots of excitement at #Anaesthesia2025 about #NAP8. @ajrmacfarlane.bsky.social shares the progress so far.

NAP8 will cover central neuraxial blocks, peripheral nerve blocks, local anaesthetic infiltration, periop nerve injury & spinal cord injury - a big topic!

Dr David Saunders tells us the impact of NELA >1000 saved per year due to its impact.
#Anaesthesia2025 @rcoanews.bsky.social but more could be saved if pathway to theatre cut to recommended 6 hours 10% currently meet that standard.
