SURGERY : The Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCoA), in partnership with the British Society of Clinical and Academic Hypnosis (BSCAH), has produced a series of recordings which you might find useful to help you relax before surgery and to develop a positive mindset about your procedure and recovery. The recordings have been prepared and recorded by health care professionals who have been trained in medical hypnosis by the BSCAH. There are two sessions for you to choose from; one short session of around 8 minutes and a longer one of around 17 minutes. The longer session expands on the short session and might help you to relax more deeply. The recordings are available in both male and female voices. You can listen to both sessions as often as you like before the day of your surgery, whilst in hospital on the day of the operation and when you are recovering. You can access the recordings on the RCoA YouTube channel HERE Visit our Mindful Mondays series, available on our YouTube channel here
