Theatre preparation starts long before surgery begins! Our team of hardworking anaesthetic technicians help to ensure that all goes smoothly when our patients have gone under. 😴💉
Aleah, Clinical Educator for Anaesthetic Healthcare Practitioners at RBWH explains the key role that her team play inside the operating theatre.
Ah the HPS!
Go Aleah!!
Worked with a lot of Anaesthetic Techs, seen a few lives saved by their assistance, big part of the theatre team.
Still in love with my Anaesthetic Tech since 1994 ♥️. 7GOT PACU RBH. Though Lee is no longer a Tech we love all the memories of that time.
No tech, no surgery, well said Aleah
Very integral role for the anaesthetic team
