The Preoperative Association National Virtual Conference 2021
Below are the lectures presented at the 2019 Annual Conference available to view and download:
Our Virtual Conference - held on 13th December 2021 - was our first virtual conference and we'd like to thank each and every one of our 470 delegates that registered for this very successful event!
It was free to attend and open to both members and non-members. The speakers discussed Preoperative Assessment during the COVID pandemic looking at new ways of working, such as earlier assessment of patients with complicated medical histories, using waiting lists more effectively to optimise patients and using technology for virtual surgical schools and remote patient consultations.
