Operating Room Tour (UK)

In this video we take a walk through a surgical theatre or "operating room". Special thanks to the East Lancashire Hospital Trust for making this video possible. It is a run through the different aspects of the theatre including the patient journey, the steps to a safe surgery and a look at the different equipment used for surgery and other procedures. Feel free to leave a positive comment, like and subscribe to the channel if you'd like to see more!
