More about this course
  • Too many patients die or suffer prolonged complications following surgery.
  • Perioperative medicine is an emerging, multi-disciplinary approach which seeks to optimise the care of high-risk surgical patients. It encompasses disciplines such as anaesthetics, surgery, nursing, elderly care, physiotherapy and healthcare management.
  • In this RCoA-endorsed course, developed by anaesthetists at University College London (UCL) Hospitals, you'll learn the key concepts you need to improve patient safety and reduce healthcare costs.
