Pre-operative Assessments – Dr Nick Ivin

As a surgical F1 you could be asked to optimise the fluid balance and nutrition of a patient, and to prescribe appropriate antibiotic and VTE prophylaxis. Here we can prepare you to prepare your patients for theatre! Join us to learn about common pre-operative tasks.

Nick is a Junior Clinical Fellow in Critical Care at King’s College Hospital in London and has ambitions to pursue a career in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care. Having graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2018 and completed the Foundation Programme at West Suffolk Hospital, he has special interests in Patient Safety, Human Factors and in-hospital Resuscitation, and recently first authored a systematic review published in the Journal of the Intensive Care Society.
