Dr Daniel Conway tells us about CPOC’s work in developing a new multiprofessional and medical curriculum in perioperative care.
Across the UK, great perioperative care is being delivered by a range of professionals from different clinical backgrounds.
Many of these professionals receive some formal training in perioperative care during their careers, but many do not. Many anaesthetists recognise that optimal perioperative care is crucial in reducing the number of people waiting for surgery, improving outcomes when they do have surgery, and optimising long-term health.
To do this, we need a skilled multiprofessional workforce with consistent training and education. NHS England therefore contracted the Centre for Perioperative Care (CPOC) to develop a multiprofessional medical curriculum in perioperative care. CPOC – a cross-specialty collaboration which works with patients and partner organisations to promote and develop perioperative care – is ideally placed to harness the expertise of professionals and patients, reflecting both users and providers of perioperative care.
Jenny Westaway, Chair of PatientsVoices@RCoA interviews Dr Ann Shearer who's stepping down this year.
Dr Ann Shearer has been a member of PatientsVoices@RCoA since 2018, and will be stepping down this year as patient voices serve for a maximum of six years. Chair of the group, Jenny Westaway, interviewed Ann about her experiences in the role.
Jenny was particularly interested in how Ann’s own considerable professional experience had influenced her work as a patient representative. Before retiring, Ann was an associate dean with NHS Education for Scotland, having previously been a consultant/senior lecturer in restorative dentistry and vice-dean of the Faculty of Dental Surgery at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
Iain will take up the appointment from 1 April 2022.
