Emergency General Surgery: COVID Challenges and Solutions
21st May 2020
Overview
Emergency General Surgery (EGS) changed dramatically in preparation for the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to do so as it progresses.
RCSEd has partnered with ASGBI to deliver a webinar which will look at what impact this has had on common conditions, outcomes, the use of laparoscopy and on patient and staff safety. We'll also discuss what changes we can keep for the future and what can be done better if there's a second wave.
Get involved and send in your questions ahead of the webinar to covid19comms@rcsed.ac.uk, we will do our best to answer them.
