RAFT 4: POPPY – Patient reported Outcomes, postoperative Pain and Pain relief in daY case surgery
RAFT (Research and Audit Federation of Trainees) has announced RAFT 4! A project investigating patient reported outcomes following day surgery, led by the team at SWARM.
Planning is still underway, so keep an eye out for more information on getting involved.
Key Dates: 2023
This observational cohort study will create a picture of current UK day-case surgery using patient centred outcomes measured after discharge from hospital. Longer-term measured outcomes will focus on defining the rate of persistent opioid use after surgery and placing this in the context of persistent post- operative pain. This has never been done before in the UK. The POPPY study spans the special interest areas of perioperative medicine, pain medicine and day case surgery.
How to get involved: See the RAFT website for more information on the POPPY study
