"...this book would be a recommended read for all perioperative practitioners, including students, nurses, ODPs and junior doctors. It covers a wide range of subjects within perioperative care in an easy to follow, step by step guide. Each chapter is short, yet concise, making it straightforward to read. The section regarding the critical care side of perioperative practice is particularly useful and therefore opens this book out to a wider readership." - Journal of Perioperative Practice
