Resources for families and young people

The APAGBI have developed a number of resources in collaboration with the Royal College of Anaesthetists who host an extensive information resource.

This section is currently being re-developed, but the latest publications are available

Supporting your child through anaesthesia and surgery

Having surgery and anaesthesia can be worrying for children. This resource is designed to help parents and carers discover strategies and ideas to prepare children mentally for an operation and to help them have a positive experience. They have been produced by The Royal College of Anaesthetists in collaboration with APAGBI.
