POCAPALOOZA | London: The International Board of Perioperative Medicine and the Centre for Perioperative Care

"At the moment perioperative care in the UK doesn't really have the profile that I think it needs; now I suspect that COVID-19 has raised it up the agenda" If you enjoyed Monty's explanation regarding the UK's perioperative journey you may find this link interesting: Evidence submitted by the Improving Surgical Outcomes Group (ISOG) (NICE 75): https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200607/cmselect/cmhealth/503/503we35.htm "Now we're here at this Pocapalooza" - POC, standing for Perioperative Care and "apalooza" being an extravagant event. However, as one of our guests suggests, perhaps we should call this one a "CPOC-apalooza!" as a lot of our focus is on The CPOC (Centre for Perioperative Care). The International Board of Perioperative Medicine is essential for anyone listening to this podcast: https://www.internationalboardpom.org/ Presented by Desiree Chappell with Monty Mythen, and their guests Mike Grocott - a frequent TopMedTalk anchor - and Professor of Anaesthesia and critical care at the University of Southampton and David Selwin, Medical Director at Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
