Perioperative Medicine is a complex field.  Management of patients requires an understanding of applied clinical physiology and pharmacology.  In this course students will learn the basis of applying scientific methods to the complex clinical situations in resuscitation, patient assessment, intraoperative management and postoperative care including critical care.  Previously learned topics will be revised and applied to the clinical scenarios and advanced knowledge will be expected with respect to sepsis, multi organ failure, monitoring and risk assessment.

This course will be particularly suited for those wishing to pursue a future career in acute specialties including Anaesthesia, Critical Care, Surgery and Acute or Emergency Medicine.
