Theatres, BMI The Ridgeway Hospital
Charlotte Bray
Throughout my six week placement it was arranged for me to spend two weeks in theatre, two in anaesthetics and two in recovery in order to get the broadest experience of the roles within the theatre.
I was encouraged to work with each of the members of the MDT including theatre support workers, scrub nurses, anaesthetic nurses, ODPs, recovery nurses, anaesthetists and surgeons. Every person that I worked with taught me something new and quizzed me on my current knowledge which definitely helped me to learn. I was encouraged to get as involved as possible and to ask as many questions as I wanted to.
