    Student nurse allocation to operating departments has decreased since the 1980s. Previously, nursing programs included essential supervised operating department experience for peri-operative patient care training.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Surgical Care

    Background:

    • Operating department allocation for student nurses has declined since the mid-1980s.
    • Pre-1988 nursing programs mandated 4-6 weeks of supervised operating theatre experience.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the historical trend of reduced operating department allocation in student nurse education.
    • To highlight the importance of peri-operative training in nursing curricula.

    Main Methods:

    • Historical analysis of nursing program structures.
    • Review of curriculum components related to surgical patient care.

    Main Results:

    • A significant decrease in elective operating department placements for student nurses has been observed.
    • The inclusion of supervised theatre experience has diminished over time.

    Conclusions:

    • The reduction in operating department experience may impact the preparedness of newly qualified nurses for peri-operative roles.
    • Re-evaluating the integration of essential surgical training components in nursing education is recommended.
