General Description
This operating theatre program is designed for nurses who work in the perioperative environment and who want to keep up-to-date about their nursing role and allied issues.
Topics that will be addressed include: environmental hazards of the operating suite; perioperative care; the vexing issue of the processes surrounding intended surgery and how to avoid wrong site surgery; intraoperative considerations such as defining the various roles of the anaesthetic nurse; the instrument nurse and the circulating nurse; patient positioning during surgery; asepsis update; and surgical count issues.
If you work in day surgery, or general hospital operating suites, this program is for you. Small group teaching - don't miss out.
If you have identified a professional need to improve your understanding of nursing in operating theatres as part of your planned learning activities, then this program will offer you an opportunity to gain continuing professional development (CPD) hours related to this topic.
