What is The Big Perioperative Natter?
This is a live, interactive, one-hour event where participants take part in a series of one-to-one conversations with peers from across the UK. It’s not a webinar, lecture, or survey; it is a safe, private space to discuss the realities of working in operating theatres today: training, workforce wellbeing, teamwork, professional fulfilment, and the pressures shaping everyday practice.
It is aninteractive event where, after an opening welcome with instructions, participants are paired into a series of short, one-to-one conversations with peers. You can have your camera on or off, it is entirely up to you, and you can join by simply clicking a link.

See you at 7pm!
