From our CEO
AfPP exists to advance health by improving patient care by determining standards and promoting best practice, facilitating education and practice development.
We provide professional support services and advice. Our forums are available for all disciplines and provide a platform for members to engage and share ideas, issues and good practice. We also collaborate with other healthcare organisations to help shape healthcare policy.
We are continually moving with the times to ensure our systems and processes support the ever-changing perioperative landscape. We do this through focus group interaction, online forums, engagement at events and face to face interactions.
Founded by a very forward thinking lady, Daisy Ayris, the Association has moved from strength to strength in the last fifty plus years and I am confident that this will continue.
Get Involved
There are many different ways you can use your specialist experience to support AfPP, both on a voluntary and paid for basis. It’s a great way to create networking opportunities within the Association’s specialist groups and committees, and help you develop your skills and experience.
Write for the Journal
Get your research, viewpoints, papers or dissertation published in the Journal of Perioperative Practice. We are particularly interested in receiving articles written by perioperative practitioners on current issue and topics.
Become a link member
As a Link member you’ll provide an invaluable link between your workplace and AfPP. You’ll play an important role in helping us share best practice, provide education and support the perioperative community. This role is voluntary.
Network in your area
Organise a perioperative event in your hospital – it could be a study day or a networking event as part of our Perioperative Week. Or maybe you’d like to help out with your regional team?
