As a Surgical Care Practitioner, we provide support to the surgical team during the perioperative period. In our Trust, we primarily do bedside assisting for robotic-assisted procedures. We are rotated to different specialities that perform robotic procedures, so I make it a habit to check which list I'll be working on the day before.

We are featuring Phillip, a Filipino Nurse working as a Surgical First Assistant and a Theatre practitioner in the UK.
