The surgical specialties are proudly dynamic and fast-paced, which can make it challenging to keep up to date with what our surgical colleagues are doing. Whether our patients present electively or emergently, an understanding of surgery and surgical complications is essential for modern critical care.
Whether you were last in theatres/on a surgical ward last week or last decade, come along to hear from experts in their field about the key things to look out for in their post-op patients, and the updates in their specialty.
This course is designed for healthcare professionals working in or alongside Intensive Care Units, including doctors, nurses, physiologists, pharmacists and allied health professionals.
Learning Objectives
This study day aims to provide quick updates on both the general principles of looking after surgical patients within the intensive care environment, and also refreshers from some of the key surgical specialties.
