What are the particular challenges when caring for high risk patients with multiple co-morbidities? Where does nutrition education begin and should it ever end?

"What is prehabilitation?" is presented by Mike Grocott, TopMedTalk's co-editor in Chief and Professor of Anaesthesia and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Southampton, as well as an NIHR Senior Investigator.

Originally presented at The World Congress of Prehabilitation, this challenging and exciting talk sets the tone for those of us who advocate for Prehabilitation; how do we define it and where is the evidence that it works?
