Spinal enhanced recovery programme

Welcome to the Wessex spinal service enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programme.

Our aim is to give you further information and support to help reduce some of the stress of surgery and help improve your recovery.

Our hope is that by providing you with practical information you will be able to prepare and understand more about what to expect in the pre and post operative phases and help you to recover faster.

For further details please refer to the factsheet and short videos, below.

Please note, addendum to information provided in enhanced recovery programme video below: Patient will be provided with a carbohydrate drink if identified and clinically required at pre-assessment.
