'It was a pleasure to be given the opportunity to read the second edition of the Fundamentals of Operating Department Practice. The size and scope of this book serves to highlight the complexity of modern perioperative care and the enormous amount of knowledge that a student in perioperative practice must master. As such, this volume is a go to resource for those seeking to understand the fundamental principles that underpin practice and, most importantly, the care of the perioperative patient. It is not only students who will benefit from the information in this book, there is much between the covers that established practitioners will find informative.'
