The NELA Project Team are pleased to announce five free to attend NELA regional Quality Improvement Workshops taking place in the next few months across the country. You can find information below on the workshops taking place closest to you and how you can sign up.

Workshop Aims

Each workshop is aimed at all the multidisciplinary team involved in the emergency surgery pathway, and will look at how to improve care for emergency laparotomy patients, using quality improvement principles and data available to all trusts through the National Emergency Laparotomy Audit.

A member of the NELA Project Team will be present at each workshop.

Sites are encouraged to bring members of the team who work together on a pathway. The workshops are suitable for surgeons, anaesthetists, intensive care staff and those with a role in perioperative improvement/governance.

  • To discuss local challenges in emergency laparotomy care and provide improvement ideas based on team discussions and by highlighting best practice elsewhere
  • To demonstrate the role of NELA data in improving care for emergency laparotomy patients and teach delegates to extract and analyse their own data in real time
  • To use QI principles to guide improvement planning for emergency laparotomy care that delegates can take back to their trust for implementation
