Effective leadership is critical to ensuring safety, efficiency and maximum productivity in the operating room (OR). This practical, evidence-based book unpicks the dynamics of a successful OR environment to underline the key techniques for management of policies, systems, staff members and teams. Fully updated to include recent clinical guidelines, the book provides the 'A-Z' of OR management, including sections on metrics, scheduling, human resource management, leadership principles, economics, quality assurance, recovery and ambulatory practice. New chapters include future healthcare models, emergency preparedness and budgets amongst other topics. Written by authors with unrivalled experience in the field, chapters are laid out in an easy and clinically helpful format to assist learning, and real-life case studies cover seventy-three different clinically relevant pain topics. This book is an essential guide for anyone working in the OR including anaesthesiologists, surgeons, nurses, and administrators.
‘This book is an excellent primer for physician anesthesiologists who would like to ascend to perioperative leadership roles. While the contents of this book are likely to be a review for experts or established leaders, it is useful for resident trainees, those stepping into leadership positions, or even anesthesiologists who are not in leadership but who would like to better understand the mechanics of operating room management.’

‘Overall, the format of this book is set out in chapters with individual headings that are self-contained so the reader can read them retrospectively. The chapters are evidence based around the American healthcare system; however, there are sections with common topics relevant to leadership and management of perioperative practice in the UK.’
