Welcome to PQIP

• Around 1 in 10 patients have serious complications after major surgery 
• These complications can affect long-term quality of life and survival      
• There are currently no national data about the rates of complications in different hospitals or how effectively we treat them  
• Data from the USA demonstrate huge variation in whether patients survive with good outcomes after developing complications  
• PQIP will measure these outcomes and support clinicians to use data to improve them                     
• We will focus on major adult elective surgery and all NHS hospitals are welcome to take part                     
• All patients will be required to give consent to take part
