Excellence in periop care goes beyond the OR: comprehensive pre-op assessments, team collaboration, and patient-focused strategies lead to better outcomes. Proud we’re making this happen at Blacktown Hospital. Still lots to do🙏🏽Danette W Western Sydney Health RACSurgeons Centre for Perioperative Care
