When you hear about surgery do you think of 'Greys Anatomy'? 'Holby City'? In reality surgery is not always so glamorous or so dramatic (but is definitely as exciting!) A surgeon will divide their time between several key functions:
Ward roundsA daily visit to check on the state and progress of each of the patients in their care, liaising with nursing staff and junior doctors.
The operating theatreWorking on pre-booked elected operations and/or emergency cases as part of a team which will include other surgeons, anesthetists, technicians, nurses, administrators all working together to ensure the best possible outcome for the patient.
