Scrub Practitioner with New Medical Systems Ltd in Leicester
We are looking for a new Scrub Practitioner to join our brand new site in Leicester. We could also consider both full-time and part-time applications. Scrub Practitioners are an integral part of our theatre teams and will undertake a variety of duties. You will be setting the theatre up ready to accommodate patients. We can typically see 18-22 patients a day in our high-volume cataract surgery provision, so you will thrive working in an efficient and fast paced environment. You will provide a competent scrub provision, supporting the surgeon through the daily theatre list, anticipating any potential problems and resolving these. At the end of the day, you will help clean down the theatre and in all you do you will ensure the highest standards are met in terms of patient safety, clinical compliance and hygiene levels. Aside from providing Scrub services in the theatre you will also undertake medicine management and audit duties as well as maintaining accurate patient records. You will manage clinical waste and ensure the correct disposal procedures are implemented. The thought of eye surgery can be a daunting prospect for patients to deal with, so our Scrub Practitioners need to be empathetic and friendly and able to put patients at ease and help them feel comfortable during their time in surgery. About us Who are we? Newmedica are one of the leading providers of NHS ophthalmology services in England, providing outpatients appointments, diagnostic testing and eye surgery.
