Pre-operative assessment guidance - MCAS
In the lead up to a surgical procedure, you may be asked to attend a pre-operative assessment. If the assessment involves a visit to the hospital (rather than a phone or email conversation), some tests may be carried out. This is to check if you have any medical problems that might need to be treated before your operation, or if you'll need special care during or after the surgery. The tests you have will depend on what operation and the kind of anaesthetic you're having. 
 
You may wish to take a copy of  Preoperative assessment guidance - MCAS with you to hand to your preoperative nurse. The pamphlet describes specific areas for consideration in Mast Cell Activation (MCAS) patients, which may be helpful to your pre-operative/surgical/post-operative team. You may also wish to keep a copy in your hospital 'grab bag' in case of emergency/unplanned surgical admittance.
 
Produced by the author of Understanding Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (a publication recommended by the RCGP and used within the wider NHS), this pamphlet has been reviewed and edited by Dr Bethan Myers (please note that, due to its intended use as an educational tool for health care professionals, the content is written in a style aimed primarily at healthcare professionals).
​
The information on this pamphlet aims to help surgeons and anaesthetists consider the more common concerns that arise in patients with MCAS, and helps raise funds for the Hypermobility Syndromes Association, Ehlers-Danlos Support UK, EDS Wellness and the Ehlers-Danlos Society (a percentage of the profit from each pamphlet sold will be split between these charities and non profit organisations).

    VAT/GST import charges

    The UK does not charge VAT/ GST sales tax on books. Prior to Brexit, EU customers were able to benefit from this when purchasing directly from our website.  However since the UK has left the EU, some EU customers will no longer able to benefit from purchasing books tax free. The rate charged will, instead, vary by country. Some such as Ireland and Norway will continue to allow books to be imported free of tax. Others, such as Germany or France will charge at a significantly reduced rate. A few, such as Latvia, will charge their full local VAT/GST rate. You can check your local rate by clicking here.

     

    Cost of postage and packaging - The cost of postage and packaging will be displayed during the payment process, prior to the transaction being completed or payment being required. It will be displayed in pounds stirling.

     

    Postage prices on multiple item orders - Post-Brexit adjustments made to the weight/size/price boundaries by shipping companies (e.g., 750g/1000g/large letter/small parcel etc.), mean that RCH customers may find that, in some situations, purchasing items separately, rather than in combination may reduce the cost of postage.
