Day surgery
Hi, please forgive me if not allowed but I have received my next placement as a student at a day surgery centre. Surgery was the one thing I didn’t want to be allocated as I had a theatre day on my last placement and it really wasn’t for me. I like talking to patients and the operating room atmosphere felt quite slow paced for my neurodivergent brain.
I’ve been trying to find more information about what day surgeries entail and what a day might look like for me. For instance, is there usually a list of surgeries for that day and do pre/post op checks? Any advice is appreciated :)
