Getting Better Quickly – Enhanced Recovery Pathway

As part of the Patient Journey, this Service is pleased to offer a getting better quickly method. This is officially called Enhanced Recovery Pathway (ERP) or Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS). This specific pathway can be used for many people but not all. We will let you and your nearest and dearest know if it is for you.

The good news is for everyone we can use this overall method to help you get out of hospital safely and quickly to get back to your normal life. Apart from wanting the best for you we want to reduce the chance of complications. By getting back to normal you can improve healing of both you wound(s) and the spine beneath.

We also look to what is happening in the rest of the United Kingdom and beyond. The international group for this work is the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Society with the link www.erassociety.org
