Collaborative Care

Surgeons: We collaborate closely with surgical teams to optimise patient outcomes and ensure seamless coordination during procedures.
Operating Department Practitioners (ODPs): ODPs are integral members of our team, providing vital support in the operating theatre. They assist in preparing the anaesthetic room, maintaining a sterile environment, and ensuring the smooth flow of surgery. ODPs work alongside anaesthetists and surgeons to uphold the highest standards of patient care and safety.
Nurses: Our dedicated nursing staff provide continuous support and monitoring before, during, and after anaesthetic administration.
Pain Management Specialists: We work in tandem with pain management experts to address post-operative pain and enhance recovery.
Other Specialists: Depending on individual patient needs, we may collaborate with specialists from fields such as cardiology, neurology, and respiratory medicine.
