Update to management of emergency surgical patients

Thanks to the work of Dr Andrew Silvers in our Department of Anaesthesia and Mr Al Saunder, Program Director, we have revised our emergency surgery process during COVID-19. The revised process ensures timely care in emergency surgery while ensuring employees are protected through a reduction in risk exposure and use of appropriate PPE.

Please familiarise yourself with the revised emergency surgical patient flowchart and intra-operative/procedural process and PPE requirements.
