Perioperative Medicine

What is perioperative medicine?
Perioperative medicine (POM) is the multidisciplinary, integrated care of patients from the moment surgery is contemplated through to recovery. It involves:

  • Preoperative evaluation.
  • Risk assessment and preparation.
  • Postoperative care (including pain management and rehabilitation).
  • Communication with other care providers (nursing, anaesthetist, allied health, surgeon).
  • Coordination of personnel and systems.
  • Shared decision-making.
Perioperative medicine aims to facilitate effective communication with the patient and their family to ensure that surgical outcomes align with their expectations and wishes.

Dr Rabin Bhandari will help patients navigate the healthcare system and co-ordinate their care by different clinicians and sub-specialties (as applicable) through shared decision making. The goal is to improve the patient experience, reduce postoperative pain and complications, safely and appropriately reduce inpatient hospital days, and reduce early re-admissions following surgery.
