Designed for pharmacists working with surgical patients or those interested in expanding their knowledge in perioperative care, the Introduction to surgery and perioperative medicine online learning course provides essential knowledge for supporting patients throughout their surgical journey.

You'll gain insights into common surgical specialties including orthopaedic, general, and plastic and reconstructive surgery, understanding surgical approaches and considerations for pharmaceutical care.
