The work
Major orthopaedic scrub is precision work at the demanding end of theatre.
Scrubbed for a major orthopaedic list, you are managing some of the biggest, most complex trays in surgery. Joint replacements, trauma fixation and spinal cases all bring their own implants, power tools and instrument sets, and you need to know each one, anticipate the surgeon’s next step and keep the sterile field and the count absolutely watertight through a long, physical case. Laminar-flow theatres, imaging and heavy sets are all part of the day.
It suits scrub practitioners who thrive on the technical challenge of major ortho and take pride in running a complex tray so smoothly the list barely slows down. Agency orthopaedic scrub work lets you take that expertise across different hospitals and surgeons, on the elective and trauma lists that suit your life.
