Patient Experience Webinar 15th July 12-1pm

Beyond the Audit: What Patients Can Teach Us About Emergency Laparotomy Care

Join the National Emergency Laparotomy Audit (NELA) team for a powerful webinar exploring the patient experience of emergency laparotomy and what clinicians can learn from it in practice.

Through firsthand patient stories alongside reflections from the Chair of NELA, this session will examine how communication, decision-making, perioperative care, and recovery are experienced by patients and families — and how these insights can translate into meaningful improvements in clinical care.

This is not simply about storytelling. Patient experience offers a form of data that audit metrics alone cannot capture: the human impact of care pathways, clinical interactions, and system pressures. The webinar will bridge lived experience with tangible actions for clinicians to take back to their teams, departments, and organisations.

Featuring:

• Patient speakers sharing lived experience of emergency laparotomy

• The Chair of NELA, Miss Lyndsay Pearce, providing clinical perspective and practical reflections

• Discussion focused on quality improvement, communication, and patient-centred care

Relevant to surgeons, anaesthetists, perioperative teams, nurses, AHPs, trainees, and healthcare leaders involved in emergency surgical care.
