The NBE safer moving and handling in the perioperative environment publication focuses on practical solutions to the unique challenges related to the provision of patient care and completion of procedure-related tasks in a highly technical environment.

Staff groups working in this environment include:
▶️Operating department practitioners
▶️Nursing staff
▶️Surgeons and
▶️Anaesthetists
to name but a few.

The perioperative environment includes areas where a patient may be located prior to surgery, during the journey to the day surgery unit, anaesthetic room, operating theatre, recovery, post-anaesthetic and receiving clinical environment, depending on acuity level.

To find out more, read the Safer Moving and Handling in the Perioperative Environment publication, which offers the reader insight into safe positioning of surgical patients and the importance of caregiver safety, whilst considering mitigating risk. The aim of this publication is to improve the handling of patients, especially during their perioperative journey.
