In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

One in four patients requiring planned major surgery have complications. Prehabilitation; which involves increasing physical activity, improving nutrition and supporting emotional well-being prior to surgery can reduce these complications and improve recovery. Group preoperative prehabilitation classes (surgery schools) are advocated by the Centre for Perioperative Care and are standard care in many hospitals, despite a lack of evidence for their effectiveness in improving patient outcomes. In phase 1 an 2 of this research investigators used patient experiences and co-participatory methods to optimise an existing intervention to make it as acceptable and as engaging as possible. The resulting education package is called 'GoPREPARE' Investigators now intend to test the practicalities of trialing GoPREPARE on preoperative patients with cancer. 24 patients awaiting surgery will be recruite
