Webinar Series
The ERAS® Society Saturday Webinar Series
The impact of COVID-19 continues to affect us all.
As a global society, we are committed to providing high quality education at a time when face to face meetings are not possible. In addition, when major elective surgery restarts, ERAS® principles will be more important than ever to ensure high quality, value-based care, with low complication rates.
This webinar – the first in a series of Saturday webinars scheduled for 2021 – will focus on how we provide the best in perioperative care during the pandemic, by a number of World Experts.
We are very grateful to all our faculty, our friends at 3M who have provided sponsorship for the meeting and our event organisers at Goose.
