Theatre and Recovery
This page has been designed for Nurses, HCAs, ODPs, Students and other Allied Health Professionals working in Theatres and Recovery.
Theatres and recovery are vital components of a hospital’s surgical services. Operating theatres provide a sterile environment for performing surgical procedures, while recovery areas ensure close monitoring and care for patients as they emerge from anesthesia. These specialized units, staffed by skilled professionals, play a crucial role in ensuring patient safety and optimal outcomes throughout the surgical journey.
