Ladder of Interventions
• Propose surgery for the correct clinical reasons, for
appropriate medical indications.
• Aim for the beneficial operation, for the right patient,
for the correct reason, at the appropriate time.
• Do not offer surgery to improve or maintain surgical
experience, for financial gains, to gain reputation, to
promote an innovation,
• Because of pressures exerted upon you by other
professionals, for your referral to surgery conversion
rates to be in line with other practitioners.
• Because someone else may offer surgery if you don’t.
Offer surgery for the right reasons.
