Making Surgery Safer: Practice, Science, and Data That Deliver
June 23rd, 2026 - 17:00–18:00 BST | 18:00–19:00 CEST
Join us for a lively, expert‑led webinar on surgical site infection (SSI) prevention—bringing together best practice, clinical science, and real‑world data to make surgery safer.
Hear directly from leading UK experts:
- Lindsay Keeley, Clinical Patient Safety & Quality Lead at the Association for Perioperative Practice (AfPP), sharing the latest SSI prevention consensus and what it really means on the frontline—practical standards, implementation insights, and key operational watch‑outs.
- Mr Wade, Surgical Specialty Lead and Academic Lecturer at the University of Leeds, breaking down the science behind SSI prevention, including emerging evidence on skin antisepsis and the surgeon’s role in peri‑operative care.
- Mr Giles Bond‑Smith, Emergency General and HPB Surgeon at Oxford University Hospitals, on how data drives real improvement in today’s healthcare reality—covering SSI prevention bundles, feedback loops, real‑world implementation, surveillance culture, and why economic endpoints are now an unavoidable part of clinical practice, shaping decisions alongside patient outcomes.
The session ends with a live panel discussion and Q&A, connecting evidence, practice, clinical judgement, and system pressures to support safer surgery and better patient outcomes.
Accreditation: This webinar is accredited by the Royal College of Surgeons and offers 1 CPD credit per hour of active, educational, non‑promotional activity. Completion of the feedback form is required to receive a certificate of attendance. Instructions will be shared during the webinar.
