AB150. SOH26AB_0122. Optimising pre-operative nutrition to drive improved enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol adherence in elective colorectal surgery

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are evidence-based pathways designed to optimise perioperative care, reduce complications, and shorten hospital stay. Despite their benefits, adherence remains inconsistent in clinical practice, limiting their impact on outcomes and resource use. This audit aimed to assess compliance with ERAS guidelines in elective colorectal surgery and evaluate the effect of structured multidisciplinary interventions on adherence and documentation quality.
