About this program
An operation theater only works if someone has prepared it properly. You learn how to sterilize and lay out instruments, how to set up the theater for different procedures, how to assist the surgical team during an operation, and how to handle everything safely afterwards.
The work demands calm and precision. You need to know the name and purpose of every instrument on the tray and hand it over without being asked twice. People who do well here are organised, unflustered, and good in a team.
