Liquid Fasting Before an Operation: Reducing Risk, Improving Care Webinar

World Patient Alliance are delighted to invite you to our upcoming webinar, “Liquid Fasting Before an Operation: Reducing Risk, Improving Care,” scheduled for 09 July 2026 at 09:00 AM EST.

Patient safety is not only about preventing major adverse events. It is also about questioning avoidable harm that can become embedded in everyday healthcare routines. Despite significant evidence, many patients continue to experience prolonged “nothing after midnight” practices before an operation. This can lead to unnecessary fasting from clear liquids for 12 hours or more. Such practices may be associated with distress, thirst, hunger, anxiety, dehydration, delayed recovery, and potential harm, without a clear clinical benefit.
