The ‘DrEaMing’ care bundle supports patients to Drink, Eat and Mobilise within 24 hours of major surgery. This simple, patient-centred intervention is associated with decreased length of stay for patients and a lower rate of late postoperative complications.1
Supported by the RCoA and Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT), DrEaMing is a Commissioning for Quality and Innovation (CQUIN) indictor, and was recently updated for 2023/2024. Containing the core features of more complex enhanced recovery pathways, DrEaMing aims to revitalise the quality-improvement (QI) efforts aiding patients’ recovery after surgery.
A positive collaborative culture, with cohesive working between the whole surgical multidisciplinary team, is essential for DrEaMing to become a sustained standard of care. The perioperative team are fundamental in delivering DrEaMing, but the other important party that can drive QI are the patients themselves!
