'It was a pleasure to be given the opportunity to read the second edition of the Fundamentals of Operating Department Practice. The size and scope of this book serves to highlight the complexity of modern perioperative care and the enormous amount of knowledge that a student in perioperative practice must master. As such, this volume is a go to resource for those seeking to understand the fundamental principles that underpin practice and, most importantly, the care of the perioperative patient. It is not only students who will benefit from the information in this book, there is much between the covers that established practitioners will find informative.' Bill Kilvington, FCODP, FRCA, Patient Safety Lead, The College of Operating Department Practitioners

A thoroughly revised second edition providing the knowledge and evidence-base needed for the perioperative practitioner, clarifying the underlying principles needed for an understanding of anaesthetic, surgical, and recovery practice. This book defines the level of knowledge required for perioperative practitioners and provides a comprehensive reference to the principles and practice of modern operating department practice. Featuring a diverse range of topics, it offers a multidisciplinary overview of new techniques and technologies, changes in medico-legal requirements, changes to professional accountability, and requirements for continuous professional development. Twelve new chapters cover healthcare ethics and professional regulation, health and safety, infection prevention and control, basic patient monitoring, human factors, and perioperative care of the paediatric patient. Incorporating a new focus on the provision of evidence-based practice and holistic care in all areas of perioperative care, this invaluable book is essential reading for anyone working in this sector, in both education and practice.
