Get started
The Productive Operating Theatre comprises of two leader’s guides, 11 modules and a toolkit. The modules are structured in a house format to illustrate how it should build up sequentially by implementing the Foundation modules first, then the Enablers and finally the Process modules.
We recommend that you start with:
- Executive Leader's Guide - this guide will offer an overview of what the programme involves, the role of key stakeholders and the buy in needed from the trust board, front line staff and clinical colleagues.
- Programme Leader's Guide - this guide will provide a solid foundation for you to begin your improvement journey, as well as offering helpful tips on how to get your preparation right to maximise your success.
Followed by the three Foundation modules:
- Knowing how we are doing
- Well organised theatre
- Operational status at a glance
The Foundation, Enablers and Process modules
These modules must be carried out in sequence as they follow a logical path. Experience has shown that trying to improve processes before gaining control of the environment and understanding what is going on, is wasted effort.
The Enabler modules will be available towards the end of November 2009. Please re-visit this page then when more information will be available.
The Process modules will be available towards the end of January 1010. Please re-visit this page then when more information will be available.
