The Operating Theatre Journal

We're very pleased to be able to lend our support to the Operating Theatre Journal.

Since our inception the OTJ has been of great support and we've found it to be a fantastic resource for connecting with operating theatre staff.

Each month OTJ aims to bring its readership news and views that are of particular interest to operating theatre staff responsible for patient care. This includes general medical and administrative news, new product/equipment releases, evaluations and case studies, study days and courses. Also included within the pages of OTJ is Job Scene, where recruitment and employment opportunities are promoted.

The Operating Theatre Journal, OTJ, is published monthly and distributed to every hospital operating theatre department in the UK. Despite being UK based, readership of the OTJ extends across the world and rightly so given the value of their content.

To promote readership of the OTJ further were offering a 20% discount on our products to OTJ readers.

  • “Humans only recall 30% of names after a first introduction, then we readily forget them.”
    Jeremy Dean, PhD
  • “Communication failures occur in 30% of operating theatre exchanges, a third of which lead to inefficiency, increased tension and risk adverse events.”
    BMJ Quality and Safety
  • “Knowing and recognising team members by name has been quantitatively and qualitatively associated with increased trust, work engagement and clinical improvement.”
    The Society for Academic Emergency Medicine
