  10. Pre-operative Assessment: • 1-on-1 teaching by anaesthesia staff • Completion of 6 anaesthetic FACS • Including two tutorial sessions • Completion of two “focused” case reports • Details on website:

  11. Chronic pain teaching: • Not taught during the anaesthesia module. • Chronic pain will be covered by three Saturday morning tutorials given near the end of the year.

  12. Assessment: The Surgical Module: • 40% - Anaesthesia Case Reports (two) • 60% - 1 h MCQs • [Last Friday of the Anaesthesia Module] • [Retaken later if failed] Final Year Surgery Exam: • OSCE station(s) / written paper / MCQs

  13. Anaesthesia Case Reports: Purpose: • To help you develop a more “focused appraisal” of the patient’s anaesthetic care • To encourage you to think about how the type of operation and the patient’s medical condition influences anaesthesia and post operative care.

  14. What you have to do: • See patients on the surgical ward before and after anaesthesia. • Ideally you should observe the anaesthetist during a number of preoperative visits and discuss with them the cases that they have assessed. • Select two interesting cases: • Write a one page summary of the anaesthetic history. • Write a one page “appraisal” of the anaesthetic care, under five headings A to E.

  15. The five headings A to E: A: How did the patients operation influence the choice of anaesthetic technique? B: How did the patient’s medical condition influence the anaesthetic? C: What was the patient told about his anaesthetic? D: Did the anaesthetist prescribe any preoperative medications and if so, why? E: What post operative care did the patient receive & why?

  16. Guidance: • Details of how these cases should be written and presented are provide on the web site.

  17. Attendance: • You are expected to attend all fixed sessions, unless you have a good reason to be absent. • No attendance registrar will be kept.

  18. Time tabling difficulties: • Occasionally sessions may need to be rescheduled because a tutor is not available. • Public holidays can be problem because of loss of teaching time. • Unforeseen changes may be necessary because of the New Curriculum. • Please keep an eye on the master time table outside the Anaesthesia Office.
