Other Events
Perioperative Medicine in Action
Online Course
University College London and the Royal College of Anaesthetists (UK) will soon be opening the third run of their MOOC (Massive Online Open Course) Perioperative Medicine in Action, after a highly succesful launch earlier this year.
This is a free online course that we think would be of interest to our members.
The course provides a unique opportunity to access high quality learning material written by the UK leaders in perioperative medicine, as well as connecting with and discussing key topics with other healthcare providers world wide.
The course is available in English and Spanish.
Kind Regards,
Dr Abigail Whiteman and Dr Katie Samuel
