Overview

This conference is a joint venture between the Faculty of Perioperative Care, RCSEd and AfPP. Although surgical outcomes may reflect the ability of the operating surgeon, the increasingly important part played by the non-medical members of the surgical team is now being recognised. Education and training of these practitioners is essential if all members of the surgical team are working towards the same high standard of patient care.

Target Audience

Perioperative practitioners working in advances roles i.e. surgical care practitioners; surgical first assistants and those with similar job titles e.g. physicians assistants

Learning Style

This is a lecture based event with interactive discussion.

Aims & Objectives
