Optimising mental health and wellbeing is an important part of preparing patients for surgery.  In the Mind section of myOp there are a range of features to help patients prepare for their surgery by increasing their understanding of what to expect and learning techniques to help reduce stress and anxiety.  This is delivered through the following sections:

  • Preparing users for surgery, helping them to know what to expect and to let them know what they can do to take an active part in their preparation and recovery
