Say thanks to a perianaesthesia nurse this International PeriAnaesthesia Week!

HIgh-level communicators and patient advocates, perianaesthesia nurses play an incredibly important and unique role across preanesthesia and postanaesthesia care, ambulatory surgery, and pain management.

Thanks for your dedication to patients and families.

Lest we forget

Patient safety means everything to nurses, midwives and carers. It's at the heart of all we do.

This it's time to focus on Medication Safety for everyone.

Do we KNOW what is being taken? Let's CHECK and ASK.

Today is R U OK Day. Trust your gut instinct that someone may not be ok & help them feel supported. There are many different ways to ask , it doesn’t matter how as long as you ask. Ask them today, you conversation could change a life. See more at ruok.org.au.

You don't need to be an expert to reach out - just a good friend & a great listener. Follow these simple steps that could change a life:
1. Ask
2. Listen
3. Encourage action
4. Check back in later.

Happy World Anaesthesia Day.

This , we are re-introducing our resources.

Changing a patient's expectation from just waiting for surgery to one of active preparation can have a really positive impact on their recovery & long-term health.
