Abstract:
A current review of the last thirty years is indicative of improvement in outcome across surgical specialities with the implementation of safer working practices and initiatives in enhanced recovery, preparing patients to be 'fit' for surgery. The focus of training for nurses and operating department practitioners lies with assuring technical competence and the drive is to establish best practice based on evidence. Once qualified, training for professionals within the perioperative environment is developed to enable participation in areas of anaesthesia, surgery and recovery roles. Advanced, intermediate and basic life support as well as advanced scrub practitioner courses are available, further aspects for patient safety have been implemented and pathways developed.
