We are excited to announce the launch of Season 2 of Operation Preparation, a podcast designed to support patients with clear, trustworthy information as they prepare for surgery.
Following the success of the first season, this new series brings another six episodes packed with easy-to-understand, jargon-free content. The podcast addresses the most common concerns patients have before undergoing surgery, with a special focus on anaesthesia, pain management, fasting, medication management, and general preparation tips to help you feel informed and in control.
鈥淧atients often feel anxious before surgery, and much of that comes from the unknown,鈥� says, Dr Aislinn Sherwin, Consultant Anaesthesiologist and Co-Lead for the Pre-Anaesthetic Assessment Clinic in St James鈥檚 188体育. 鈥�This podcast gives people a reliable, calm, and friendly resource to answer their questions and make the whole experience less intimidating.鈥�
From understanding how anaesthesia works to knowing what you can eat and or drink before your procedure, this podcast walks you through it all in short, accessible episodes created by medical professionals.
Whether your scheduled for a minor procedure or something more complex, this podcast can help you start your surgical journey with confidence.
