Specialist Training in Perioperative Practice

Perioperative practice is quite a specialized area focused around patients who are undergoing surgery. The patients are coming in for a purpose, usually to have an operation or procedure that will correct something they would like adjusted. In general nursing, on the wards, you look after the care of the patients for a range of reasons but they are more likely to be long-term and have more general care needs, as the name suggests.
