Day Case Emergency General Surgery: A joint BADS/HCUK Virtual Conference
4th December 2025

The UK has a strong international reputation for excellence in day surgery, driven by several factors including high quality research, an emphasis on efficient use of NHS resources and not least, dynamic clinical leaders, examples of which we will be hearing from during this event.

The rationale for effective elective day surgery is well understood and whilst work continues to improve care in this area, the provision of day case/ambulatory emergency & urgent surgical care has been a recent focus of research and healthcare reform. Outcomes in emergency surgery are poor compared to other countries and compared to elective surgical patients. We can and should be offering high-quality, efficient ambulatory emergency surgery pathways, utilising the best technology available, for the benefit of our patients and making the best use of our valuable and limited healthcare resources. The NHS 10-year plan has recognised the importance of providing treatment for patients outside of the hospital environment and ambulatory care for patients with acute surgical pathology can play an important part in this. Likewise, the NHS vision for a move from analogue to digital technology has significant potential to improve the care of emergency surgical patients through ambulatory pathways.

Chair & Speakers:
•Mr Dave Bunting - Past President, BADS; Consultant Upper Gastrointestinal Surgeon, Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
•Mr Adam Kimble - Honorary Treasurer, BADS; Consultant General & Colorectal Surgeon, Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust
•Dr Catrin Williams - BADS Council Member; Consultant Anaesthetist, Practice Plus Group Hospital in Shepton Mallet and Musgrove Park, Taunton, Somerset NHS Foundation Trust
•Mr Gabriele Galatà - BADS Council Member; Consultant in Endocrine and General Surgery, King’s College Hospital NHS
