Perioperative Medicine for Older People: The POPS approach
3rd December 2025, 7-8pm
The Preoperative Association is delighted to introduce a series of webinars, designed to support anaesthetic trainees with meeting learning outcomes from the RCoA syllabus. The first webinar in this series concerns the perioperative assessment and care of the older person being considered for surgery.
The perioperative care of people with frailty and multi-morbidity should be tailored to support their individual needs. This is an area all perioperative physicians will encounter as the volume of surgery performed on this population is growing. The POPS (Perioperative Care for Older People Undergoing Surgery) approach espouses the early integration of geriatricians into the care of the older person considering surgery and the utilisation of CGA (Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment) methodology. This webinar aims to share experience and guidance for incorporating POPS principles into perioperative planning for older patients. Anaesthetic consultants, non-consultants, nurses and pharmacists are also welcome to attend.
