Our Mission: Helping People
Prepare Better and
Recover Stronger

I’ve spent my career as a consultant anaesthetist — looking after patients before, during and after major operations.

Over those years, one thing became consistently clear: the patients who recovered best weren’t just the ones who had the smoothest operations. They were the ones who arrived prepared. Fitter, better informed, and mentally ready for what lay ahead.

I also saw the other side. Patients who hadn’t been given the information they needed. Who were anxious because nobody had explained what to expect. Who hadn’t known there was anything they could do to help themselves.

That troubled me — and I knew there was something we could do to change it. 

So we started asking: what would genuinely useful preparation actually look like?

Our courses are comprehensive and beautifully designed, bringing everything a patient needs into one place — expert-led, evidence-based, and presented in a way that feels genuinely engaging rather than clinical or overwhelming.

Patients deserve better preparation. That’s why we built Better Surgery.
