Take the Lead in Theatre Nursing Roles That Support Safe Surgery

Theatre nurses are nurses primarily focusing on operations, surgeries and procedures. Theatre nurses work primarily in hospital operating theatres and anaesthetic/recovery areas; however, they can also be involved with procedures on wards, clinics or in other specialist areas. Theatre nurses work as part of a large team that will include surgeons, anaesthetists, operation department practitioners (ODPs), theatre support workers and porters.

Theatre nursing ensures safe, efficient surgical procedures, preparing patients, supporting surgeons and maintaining strict standards throughout every operation.
Theatre Nurses can also specialise in a specific area – perioperative care can be divided into four phases:
Pre-Operative (pre-assessment)
During the preoperative assessment, you’ll make sure a patient is fully informed about the risks and benefits of the operation and that they are in a good state of health for surgery. You’ll provide information about the operation and give the patient the opportunity to ask questions. This also reduces the risk of a late cancellation and resources being wasted.
Anaesthetic phase
During this phase, you’ll primarily support the anaesthetist but also prepare any specialist equipment, devices and drugs. You’ll also assess the patient immediately prior to the surgery.
Surgical phaseYou’ll be responsible for a number of roles during the surgical phase, including:

  • preparing all the necessary complex instruments and equipment, including microscopes, lasers and endoscopes
  • working with the surgeon to provide instruments, needles, swabs and other materials as required
  • responsibility for the surgical instruments, equipment and swabs
  • act as a link between the surgical team and other parts of the theatre and hospital.

Recovery phase

Following the operation, you’ll:

  • Offer the patient care and support upon arrival at the post-anaesthetic care unit
  • Monitor the patient’s health
  • Provide appropriate care and treatment until the patient has recovered from the effects of the anaesthesia and/or surgery
  • Assess the patient to ensure they can be discharged back to a ward
  • Assess the care given during each of the perioperative phases
