Theatre Access Refresher Course

The purpose of this refresher course is to enable the user to maintain their knowledge base of rules and regulations which change, so that they are compliant with requirements for the location of their business activity and are safe with their ultimate end user, the patient. It is accepted that much of the basic information is not repeated here – although some of it is.

This course will help you:

• Update your knowledge regarding risks in the perioperative environment and enable you to mitigate those risks.
• Manage risks to yourself and use personal protective equipment following a risk assessment.
• Be aware of permissions required for attendance at surgery.
• Refresh your knowledge of known risks for surgical site infection and how good practice can reduce risks.

Much of what we remind users relates to the safety frameworks which reduce risk to patients, the medical device company representative and also to other team members.

This course matches the requirements of the LSI Register for Tier 3: Training for High risk settings.
