Welcome to the website of the International prehabilitation Society.
Due to the outbreak COVID-19 it has been determined that the Prehabilitation Conference in Barcelona, May 28-29th will be postponed.
We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting. Please check this website for new dates.
The International Prehabilitation Society would like to bring together all stakeholders involved in making patients fit for surgery.
Though we believe in high intensity, multimodal prehabilitation, any initiative to improve a patients’ physical, nutritional and mental status before surgical or medical therapy is considered of value. We want to share knowledge and gather the evidence that is needed for broad implementation of prehabilitation.
