This comprehensive course is designed to equip registered nurses with the essential knowledge, clinical skills, and critical thinking required to provide safe and effective care to patients undergoing anaesthesia and during the immediate post-anaesthetic recovery period. The course integrates theoretical foundations with hands-on clinical practice, focusing on the nurse’s role in the perioperative environment, including anaesthetic preparation, intraoperative support, and post-anaesthetic recovery.
Participants will explore a range of anaesthetic techniques, pharmacological principles, patient monitoring, and emergency interventions. Emphasis is placed on patient safety, interprofessional collaboration, and evidence-based practice. The course also addresses the unique needs of diverse patient populations, including paediatric, geriatric, and high-risk surgical patients.
