St. Vincent’s Healthcare Group Limited - Annual Review 2007 Department - Surgery Operating Theatre Department Staff Welcome to the twenty-eight new nursing staff and 6 theatre aides who joined the Operating Theatre staff during the year. Sadly on April 13th our nursing colleague and friend Liz Tully lost her fight for life, she is greatly missed by all who had the fortune to know her. Promotional appointments; Ms. Natasha Keaty, CNM1 PACU; Ms. Maura McEvoy, CNM 1, Theatres 1 & 2. Three of our senior portering staff were promoted to other posts in the hospital. One porter was appointed to a supervisory position in theatre. Retirements Two of our most senior Clinical Nurse Managers retired at the end of the year, Ms. Bernadette Farrell and Ms. Breda O’Donoghue. Ms. Maureen Flynn Assistant Director of Nursing resigned her post in September. Maureen moved to the HSE where she is coordinator for nurse prescribing for the East Coast Area. Ms Maureen D’Arcy is currently ADON for critical care areas Theatre, ICU and HSSD. Education / Conferences A series of workshops were introduced to support overseas nurses in their orientation to Irish operating department nursing, practices in anaesthetics, recovery and surgery. Six staff attended the Operating Theatre National Conference, three presenting scientific posters and one oral presentation. One staff member also attended the Anaesthetic Nursing conference in Waterford, and workshops and study days on Surgical Stapling, Breast Implants Reconstruction, Wound Care and Orthopaedic Implants Regular in-service education continues in the department every Wednesday morning. The nursing journal club was further developed and each speciality group meet simultaneously on a monthly basis. Support for students (nursing and medical) is a fundamental activity for the operating team. During the year, 11 staff nurses completed preceptorship training. Nursing students, 88 pre-registration students undertook four weekly placements in the department. Feedback from students on placement identified theatre as a positive experience and a good educational environment. Developments/ Activities The inaugural foundation course in perioperative nursing commenced in Nov 2007 and postgraduate students are undertaking this programme. This programme was initiated by the theatre staff and formulated in collaboration with the School of Nursing. Theatre Commissioning A multidisciplinary steering group is being formed to co-ordinate the transfer of services to the Clinical Services Building, which is anticipated in the second part of 2008.
