Safe OR Course

Safe OR is a two-day, multi-disciplinary and highly interactive course co-developed by Lifebox with five partners. It aims to provide refresher training for surgeons, obstetricians, anesthesia providers, and OR nurses in the essentials of safe surgical care, emphasizing the importance of human factors and non-technical skills in surgery, and the general principles underlying the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist. The course includes sessions on teamwork and communication, surgical site infection reduction, anesthesia and surgical emergencies, enhanced recovery, and postoperative care.
