"The Royal College of Anaesthetists has produced a practical toolkit to help patients prepare for their operation, to know more about what to do on the day, and also what to expect in terms of recovery. "Fitter Better Sooner, which launched on 2 October (www.rcoa.ac.uk/fitterbettersooner), has a generic leaflet for all procedures and six specific leaflets forthe most common procedures, including cataract surgery, knee surgery, and hernia repairs. They have information on such things as how to stop smoking, the benefits of reducing alcohol intake and taking more exercise, plus practical tips such as having music to listen to while you wait, as it can help to reduce stress.
