Royal College of AnaesthetistsDec 6, 2022

Hello #MedMastodon we are new here! 👋

We're the professional body responsible for the specialty in the UK. Hoping to connect with #TeamAnaesthesia on Mastodon.

For our first post we wanted to share our new Beano comic strip.

A great resource for use in preop clinics to help alleviate children’s anxiety and encourage them to prepare well for their operation.

Dennis has an anaesthetic

This patient information leaflet helps children understand what it’s like to have a general anaesthetic, using familiar Beano characters to help reduce any anxiety they may have about surgery.

As someone who read the #Beano as a boy, and subscribed to it for my kids, I’m so excited to see the Royal College of #Anaesthetists partner with this iconic comic on ‘Dennis has an Anaesthetic’!

Anaesthetists and parents can use this resource in preop clinics to help alleviate children's #hospitalanxiety & encourage them to prepare well for their #operation.
