  3. Units of Study - consisting of six (6) areas of practice, broken down by group
    1. Preoperative assessment
    2. Preoperative planning
    3. Optimisation Unit
    4. Intraoperative impacts on patient outcomes
    5. Postoperative assessment and management
    6. Discharge planning and rehabilitation

Within each category you will find e-books, journals, articles, podcasts and videos, websites, as well links to other supporting guides.

The second section is comprised of three additional categories (or tabs):

  1. Assessment resources
  2. Books & e-books
  3. Other resources - websites, podcasts, videos, journals, articles

These resources are predominantly e-books and multimedia resources with some supporting websites and articles.
