While most surgical assistants provide intraoperative support, Nurse Practitioners (NPs) extend their role through Telehealth, offering seamless perioperative care.
NP Contributions via Telehealth
- Pre-Operative Assessments – Medication reviews, patient education, and optimisation.
- Post-Operative Follow-Up – Wound checks, pain management, and complication triage.
