The weeks before surgery are not dead time. A well-structured prehabilitation programme gives that window a purpose — and measurably better outcomes on the other side of it.

Physical fitness before surgery is not a luxury. It is one of the strongest modifiable predictors of surgical outcomes, and the evidence for structured physical prehabilitation is now substantial across every major surgical...

Artificial intelligence is already changing how surgical and cancer patients recover. This post examines what AI-powered recovery means in practice and what the evidence shows.

Cancer surgery patients face a physiological and psychological burden unlike any other surgical pathway. Learn why prehabilitation matters most here, and what the evidence shows.

Fewer than 10% of surgical patients who need prehabilitation actually receive it. We examine why the access gap exists, who it affects most, and how digital delivery is changing that.

Pre-operative anxiety affects up to 80% of surgical patients and directly impacts recovery. Learn how psychological preparation reduces complications and supports better outcomes.

Nutrition is one of the most modifiable determinants of surgical outcome. Learn how nutritional optimisation before and after surgery reduces complications and supports faster recovery.

Prehabilitation prepares patients before surgery; rehabilitation supports recovery after. Understanding the difference is essential for designing better surgical pathways.

Prehabilitation research shows mixed but promising evidence. Studies suggest it may reduce complications and hospital stay, but results vary due to study quality, design differences, and limited large trials.

Prehabilitation (“prehab”) prepares patients for treatment by improving fitness, nutrition, and mental wellbeing before surgery to reduce complications and support recovery.
