Careers and opportunities within surgery

10 Nov 2021

Theatre 2

Working Better

The panel will discuss opportunities within the perioperative environment for all levels of the perioperative team. They will look at how career development can be supported and develop a more consistent approach to workforce development. With the changing landscape within theatres it is important to take into account the potential of all levels of practitioner and utilise their skills to bridge the gaps we are experiencing with staff shortages. We will explore how we can develop a multi-disciplinary approach that supports patient safety and better patient outcomes.
