Abstract

Training in Perioperative Medicine

Perioperative Medicine: the holistic and multidisciplinary approach to the care of patients contemplating, undergoing and recovering from surgery is recognised as an important professional development of the last decade. Supporting a growing workforce with the required teaching, training and education remains of central importance if this multidisciplinary team approach is to impact positively on outcomes and experiences for surgical patients. At University College London and University College Hospital we have a decade of experience, preparing healthcare professionals to become leaders in the field, through a successful blend of academic learning and clinical workplace experience. In this talk I reflect on both our own faculty journey and that of the students who have studied with us and who have gone on ultimately make their careers in this worthwhile area of clinical practice.
