Close your eyes and imagine this: You’re a surgical nurse in general theatre. It’s the end of a long shift and you’re scrubbed in for your last case. The surgeon has closed up the patient when you realise the instrument count is incorrect and the patient is now already in recovery. What do you do next?
In episode 16, we hear from Teresa Donnelly, who shares how this incident in general theatre started her clinical audit journey. Teresa has since revolutionised the culture of general theatre at Sligo University Hospital, improving both patient and staff safety.
Featuring: Teresa Donnelly, Director, HSE Centre of Education for Nursing and Midwifery, Sligo Leitrim W Cavan.
Hosted by Selene Daly, Clinical Audit Facilitator, HSE National Centre for Clinical Audit. Co-produced by Sheema Lughmani.
