What is Perioperative Care?

To both patients and the public, the phrase ‘perioperative care’ may be unfamiliar and yet, it should be a normal and fundamental part of the healthcare process within the NHS.

The word ‘peri’ means around. The word ‘operative’ means surgery. So ‘perioperative care’ refers to the care that a patient should get as they journey form the GP surgery (when they might be referred to hospital), right the way through to the moment they are back home recovering.

Our Client’s Vision

Their vision is to improve the health of people of all ages, at all stages of their surgical journey, by promoting the highest standards of perioperative care.

Improving perioperative care will make a difference to a lot of important things to patients. These include supporting patients to get fitter before surgery, better pain management (getting mobile quicker), recovery times (getting you out of hospital faster), reducing any anxiety felt and putting the patient at the centre of all decisions about treatment.

The Role
