NovPod, a beginner’s guide to anaesthetics, Episode 3: Pre-assessment
Season 2, Episode 3, Jul 14, 2023, 05:02 PM
We talk to Dr Layla Guscoth, an anaesthetist who has recently completed her novice period (as well as being an England netball star!), about pre-assessing patients and the pre-op visit. We discuss some of the challenges involved as well as key things not to miss and why we do pre-op visits in the first place.
The Novpod: a beginner's guide to anaesthetics is created, edited, and co-hosted by Dr Eoin Dore and Dr Duncan Kemp. We are two anaesthetic registrars on a mission to help our new anaesthetic colleagues get to know some of the new concepts you will come across in your novice period, hopefully helping to take away any anxiety around starting your time in anaesthetics.
