Or tips for improving the experience of our paediatric and adult patients.

In this episode I chat with Dr Annette Webb a paediatric gastroenterologist and President of the Australian Society of Hypnosis (ASH) and Dr James Auld, a retired dentist who is an Executive member of ASH.

We talk about how we can improve the pre-anaesthetic experience for paediatric patients.

Is this only applicable to children? Of course not. There are some great tips for how we can improve the experience for all our patients.

They mention some great resources:
