The Perioperative Quality Initiative (POQI) is an international, multidisciplinary non-profit organization that organizes consensus conferences on topics of interest related to perioperative medicine with the aim of improving patient care.

This piece is an exclusive chance to hear how and why The POQI strives towards a broader perspective and the value of not existing within an echo chamber. It was originally part of The Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM 2023) World Congress in London.

With questions from the audience Desiree Chappell hosts a conversation with the chairs Mike Grocott, Professor of Anaesthesia and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Southampton and Andy Shaw, Chairman, Department of Intensive Care and Resuscitation at The Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio.
