Keeping Afloat in Perioperative Nursing
Perioperative Nursing is a wonderful dynamic and challenging Nursing speciality. It is a team sport where medical, nursing and ancillary staff are thrust together in a team environment. When this works well it is a masterpiece to behold, however when personalities and unforeseen circumstances arise, it can be fraught with difficulties.
This conference is designed to look at evidence-based literature and a deeper understanding of the perioperative environment. We will explore some of the possible emergency situations perioperative Nurses may face, and, provide knowledge to perform during these emergencies with confidence skill and know-how to deliver safer patient care.
Perioperative Nursing is not always taught in the undergraduate curricula thus the importance of post registration education in this specialty area cannot be overestimated. This Conference will suit both novice and experienced Perioperative Nurses.
-
Learning Outcomes

- To discuss and understand the physiology and treatment of some perioperative emergency situations
- To come away feeling educated, empowered and realising that perioperative nurses are brilliant!
