“For me, nothing beats the power of face-to-face learning. This year's 'People's' programme is designed to cater for our everyday needs at the coalface. I’m looking forward to the face-to-face small group learning sessions, a golden opportunity for knowledge consolidation - there are a lot to choose from, and they give us the chance to ask the questions we want answered: this is world-class learning - don't miss out!” - Clare Colebourn

TL:DR- patients having operations that started between 1300 and 1800 had statistically significant increases in postop complications, compared to pts with operative starts before 1300.

Next question- I'd love to know the results for ops starting after 1800. 🤔
