"One of the best sessions of the entire conference" was presented by our guest on this piece. In this podcast there's a chance to really discuss perioperative optimisation, with a focus on delirium, in post operative patients. Are we getting to where we need to be or is there more work to be done?

Presented by Desiree Chappell with Sol Aronson and their guest Charles Brown, associate professor of anesthesiology and critical care medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

The UK could be said to have led the way with perioperative medicine, is that still the case? The theme of change and adaption is key here; this piece asks where is the UK now and where is it going to in the future? How were practitioners in the UK inspired by others around the world to push this movement forward?

This piece was originally part of a wider discussion regarding global perspectives on perioperative medicine; it works here as a stand alone talk. Keep an eye on TopMedTalk for the Australian, UK and global perspectives.

This piece, originally streamed live on www.topmedtalk.com features a conversation about the implementation of enhanced recovery protocols and the results practitioners report. The discussion starts with the observation that just implementing the ERAS intraoperative protocols drove outstanding outcomes in practice. The wider discussion focuses on the importance of putting into practice a bigger plan.
