Patient safety and optimal surgical outcomes are the first priority of our surgeons.

Dr Justin Webb and Dr Daniel Mandziak recently attended a conference entitled ‘Adverse Events: Can we prevent them’, organised by the Australian Society of Anaesthetists.

A variety of presentations by medical specialists addressed a range of pre-operative and post-operative patient care issues which can help to identify and prevent adverse outcomes.

This will further be discussed with all Orthopaedics SA surgeons at their regular practice clinical meeting.
