Listen On
Not every patient will require a visit to a preoperative clinic, but it is an opportunity to ensure that patients having more complex surgery or with other health conditions are ready for their operation. In this episode, an anaesthesiologist and a perioperative nurse discuss the purpose of the clinic and what will happen on the day.

Guests

Dr Jonathan Nicholson and Ms. Rebecca Le Fevre
