Professional Advice
“I attended The AfPP Annual Conference in Warwick, where I had the chance to network with professionals and fellow students in perioperative care. The diverse lectures and workshops offered valuable insights into best practices, emerging technologies, and patient care. Engaging with expert speakers and participating in hands-on sessions deepened my knowledge and inspired me to apply these insights in my studies and practice. I especially valued the discussions on patient safety, theatre efficiency, human factors, and civility. I thoroughly enjoyed the event and hope to attend again next year.”
Jessica Hone, Trainee ODP
