Perioperative medicine is a rapidly growing and innovative field with increasing importance for the delivery of healthcare in the surgical setting. Advances in medicine, surgery, and critical care have demonstrated the need to have a holistic overview of multiple areas, and where marginal gains can lead to better outcomes and experiences for patients.

The course will be delivered by the Critical Care and Perioperative Medicine Research Group (CCPMG) at Queen Mary University of London, who are a world leading research group in perioperative medicine, and will aim to train the future perioperative practitioners to deliver better healthcare and promote innovation and research in the field.

Perioperative medicine is a new and exciting specialty designed to improve outcomes and experiences in high-risk patients undergoing surgery.

This programme is intended to provide you with a thorough grounding in the discipline together with the tools to maintain your knowledge base through a course of advanced, specialist instruction. The programme is designed to ensure that you acquire the theoretical understanding and skills to advance and promote knowledge in the specialty, as well as develop your leadership skills.

The clinicians and senior nurses working within the Critical Care and Perioperative Medicine Research Group at Queen Mary have a strong track record of leading, developing and delivering patient care and research within this field. The programme will also draw on the knowledge and expertise of international expert clinicians and academics to create a faculty that is ideally equipped to deliver a comprehensive and exciting course.
