Rupert Pearse: Public health for surgical patients  

A surgical procedure might be a brief moment in a patient’s lifespan, but complications before, during, or after surgery can alter someone’s health trajectory and significantly impact quality of life and survival. Therefore, well-timed interventions could have long-term benefits. Given that five million people undergo surgical treatments each year in the NHS, interventions during surgical care may also offer opportunities to improve health generally, for example support for smoking cessation. In this seminar, Rupert Pearse, of the William Harvey Research Institute and Barts Health, will present his work using routine healthcare data, clinical trials and qualitative methods to improve the lives of people having surgical treatments in high income countries and the global south.
