National Emergency Laparotomy Audit

Welcome to the National Emergency Laparotomy Audit (NELA)

NELA aims to enable the improvement of the quality of care for patients undergoing, or considered for, emergency laparotomy through the provision of high quality comparative data from all providers of emergency laparotomy in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

NELA is being carried out by the Royal College of Anaesthetist’s Centre for Research and Improvement (https://www.rcoa.ac.uk/research/research-bodies/rcoa-centre-research-improvement-cri), in conjunction with surgical and other key stakeholders.

NoLap Resources

We've created several resources local teams can use to help progress the NoLap workstream locally. These include:

NoLap Poster (../NELA_Parent/file/179/NoLap_Poster.pdf)

Top Tips (../NELA_Parent/file/155/NoLap_Strategies2024.pdf)

Webinars (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIDe-j6iZk5N7U2gmD0iTFYZYXgdawA2)

Patient Leaflet - Recovering Well

Clinicians from Cardiff and Vale Health Board, in collaboration with the NELA team, have created a leaflet for patients for what to expect after surgery. We think this is a hugely valuable resource and we hope you will share it with your patients, or let them know where they can find it. It is now available on our website: ../information/nelappi

Improving Timeliness to Emergency Laparotomy Project

The RCoA, in collaboration with The Healthcare Improvement Studies (THIS) Institute at the University of Cambridge, are designing a project aimed at improving timeliness to theatre for emergency laparotomy patients. For more details on the project, see https://rcoa.ac.uk/research/research-projects/improving-timeliness-emergency-laparotomy
