Dr Mark Hamilton is Consultant and Honorary Senior Lecturer in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine at St George's Hospital, London. He trained and has worked in London for the past 20 years, and is currently undertaking a postgraduate degree in pre-operative physiological testing at University College London.
"Care of the surgical patient is increasingly recognised to rely on a coordinated approach to healthcare by a multidisciplinary team. Perioperative Medicine brings together the best research from all of these fields and applies it to the care of patients undergoing surgery to help healthcare providers improve their patients' outcomes."
