To ensure all the staff within the theatre departments are aware of their responsibility in the prevention and control of infection, and wear the necessary protective clothing during theatre procedures. Demonstrate an advanced level of clinical nursing practice which remains updated according to evidence.

Ensure that care is planned and developed in a systematic way, in accordance with the agreed model of care. Investigate and monitor complaints and PALS enquiries.
Ensure that the Head of Nursing is updated on the departmental plans to respond to complaints. Please see attached job description for further information.
