POCAPALOOZA | Hong Kong, Mike Irwin

EBPOM might be over but the global perioperative festival, the POCAPALOOZA, continues. Either we've locked our team in their rooms and forced them to continue broadcasting or they're driven by a raw enthusiasm for the results of perioperative care to be shared around the world, either way this piece is our penultimate installment before we return to Cape Town.

"Early intervention and people taking it seriously is a big thing" The conversation evolves as our guest speaks to the realities of moving internationally to pursue your career in medicine.
