Dr Sam Black talks with Dr Laurence Hulatt, Paediatric Anaesthetic Consultant in Plymouth, about the new patient advice resource: Ready, Steady Recover – 10 things young people can do to prepare for surgery 

Dr Black is a Consultant Paediatric and Perioperative Anaesthetist at Medway NHS Foundation Trust. She is a member of the APA’s Perioperative Care Committee and also the Patient Information Lead at the Royal College of Anaesthetists.  

In this podcast we talk about the importance of changing 'waiting lists' to 'preparation lists' and explore this new patient advice: why it was developed, what it contains, and how it can best be used to help young people prepare for surgery
