Join Dr Danette Wright, Head of Department of General Surgery at Blacktown Hospital, and Dr Rajni Lal, Perioperative Physician, for an engaging breakfast symposium exploring the pivotal role of nutrition in supporting surgical recovery. Through two thought-provoking case studies, the speakers will share real-world insights into how perioperative nutrition can be integrated into patient care to optimise outcomes.

The session will highlight the importance of shared decision-making, multidisciplinary collaboration, and tailoring care to individual patient needs throughout the surgical journey. Attendees will gain practical perspectives on identifying nutritional risk, engaging patients in treatment decisions, and implementing strategies that support recovery and improve the patient experience across a range of surgical settings.
