About this Event

Digital Healthcare, Prehabilitation, Robotics & The Virtual Hospital — Innovating Pathways in Colorectal Surgery

Join us for a forward-looking event bringing together surgeons, clinicians, allied health professionals, researchers and healthcare leaders to explore how digital health, prehabilitation, robotics and virtual hospital models are transforming colorectal surgical pathways. Expert talks and real-world case studies will examine:

How digital tools and remote monitoring can support preoperative optimisation, enhance peri-operative safety and enable earlier supported discharge
The impact of structured prehabilitation on outcomes, patient engagement and recovery
Advances in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted colorectal surgery, including implementation, training and service sustainability
Practical lessons from developing a Virtual Hospital model for postoperative care — patient experience, safety metrics and system benefits

Who we are
We are a multidisciplinary group of UK clinicians with a shared commitment to improving the quality, safety and efficiency of surgical services through digital innovation. Our work spans colorectal surgery, peri-operative care, virtual hospitals, robotics, prehabilitation and health policy, with experience across clinical delivery, research, training and system leadership. This event is collaboration between West Hertfordshire NHS Trust and Imperial College.

Who should attend: Colorectal surgeons, perioperative physicians, specialist nurses, physiotherapists, digital health leads, healthcare managers, academics & researchers driving surgical innovation and service redesign.

Featuring leading national and international experts, and opportunities for networking — providing actionable insights to embed innovation into everyday surgical care and improve outcomes for patients.
