  • Introduction to theatre layouts, workflows and key staff
  • Hands-on mentoring with experienced Operations Assistants
  • Infection prevention and control education
  • Manual handling training
  • Orientation to ACORN Standards
  • Training in endoscope cleaning and equipment preparation


Ongoing support is provided through regular check-ins, in-service education sessions, annual mandatory training and opportunities for continued professional development within the perioperative environment.
