Guidelines
CPOC produces guidance as an aid to support health care professionals in perioperative care. They use robust processes to develop our guidance taking into consideration expert opinion and the latest research.
CPOC develops its own guidance under the six strategic themes laid out in the CPOC Strategy 2020-2023.
Guidance on 'Preoperative Assessment and Optimisation for Adult Surgery including consideration of COVID-19 and its implications' has been published.
Day Surgery: National Day Surgery Delivery Pack

Enhanced Perioperative Care Guidance
Enhanced Perioperative Care (EPC) is a model of care for surgical patients who cannot be optimally cared for in a general ward environment. This guidance is a joint publication with the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine.
Guideline for Perioperative Care for People with Diabetes
The Centre for Perioperative Care, working in partnership with Diabetes UK, has now published guidance for the care of people with diabetes undergoing elective and emergency surgery that encompasses the whole perioperative pathway
New Guidelines for Perioperative Care of People Living with Frailty
The scope of this guideline covers all aspects of perioperative care relevant to adults living with frailty undergoing elective and emergency surgery. It is written for healthcare professionals involved in delivering care throughout the pathway, as well as for patients and their carers, managers and commissioners.
