Surgeon in Focus
 Every experienced perioperative nurse was once "the new nurse". 

Starting in theatre or recovery can feel overwhelming. This structured learning program is designed to support nurses before, during and alongside hands-on clinical learning, helping build a consistent foundation for specialty practice.

Developed from years of clinical experience, postgraduate study and continually asking "Why?", these evidence-based resources help nurses move beyond memorising tasks to understanding the clinical reasoning behind perioperative care—supporting earlier recognition of risk, stronger clinical judgement and more confident participation in patient care.
