Cheshire and Merseyside Surgery School 

The Cheshire and Merseyside Surgery School portal is a dedicated online resource designed to support patients before, during and after their surgery.

Based on Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) principles, Surgery School provides practical, evidence-based advice to support patients before, during and after their operation.

Research shows that taking simple steps – such as improving nutrition, increasing physical activity, stopping smoking, understanding pain management, and getting moving early after surgery – can reduce complications, shorten hospital stays and speed up recovery.

The portal has been developed by local health professionals and brings together expert clinical guidance in an accessible, easy-to-read format.

If you or a loved one is preparing for surgery, visit the Cheshire and Merseyside Surgery School portal to find out how you can play an active role in your recovery.
