A selection of independent, published studies on prehabilitation: preparing the body and mind before an operation.
This is other people’s research, not ours
These studies were carried out and published by independent research teams. Beyond Surgery did not conduct, fund or take part in any of them, and none of them studied the Beyond Surgery programme. Their results apply to the patients, operations and settings each study looked at, and may not apply to you or to our programme. We link to them so you can read the wider evidence for yourself.
