How does an experienced physician, health service changer, improver and researcher see the process of re-engineering perioperative care pathways? What are the challenges we face when we try to rework or improve the culture of an institution? How do we tackle common issues, which nowadays seem less acceptable, such as delirium?

This piece is part of a series of talks regarding "re-engineering perioperative care pathways" which were given during the 8th Australian and New Zealand Symposium of Perioperative Medicine Special Interest Group: “Updates in Perioperative Medicine 360” which took place between November 7th-9th 2019

Presented by Professor Alison Mudge, Conjoint Professor of Medicine, Royal Brisbane Clinical Unit, Faculty of Medicine.
