The Orthopaedic Specialist Theatre Practitioner will work as a senior clinical specialist within elective orthopaedic theatres, providing expert scrub practice for complex and specialist orthopaedic surgery. The role is focused on advanced clinical practice, supporting safe, efficient and high-quality patient care through specialist knowledge, technical skill and professional judgement. Advanced Clinical Scrub Practice Provide expert scrub support across a broad range of orthopaedic subspecialties, including upper and lower limb surgery, hand and foot procedures, complex primary joint replacement, revision arthroplasty, hip arthroscopy and multi-stage infection surgery. Scrub independently for implant-heavy and technically demanding procedures, demonstrating advanced anticipation, sequencing and intraoperative awareness. Apply specialist procedural knowledge to support surgical flow and respond effectively to changing intraoperative requirements. Maintain high levels of concentration and resilience during prolonged and complex procedures. Specialist Instrumentation, Implants and Loan Kit Prepare, assemble and quality-check complex orthopaedic instrumentation, implant systems and loan kit, often involving multiple trays and manufacturer-specific equipment. Take responsibility for ensuring all specialist equipment, implants and consumables are available, accurate and fit for purpose prior to surgery. Liaise proactively with company representatives, sterile services, EBME and procurement teams to resolve equipment, tray or implant issues. Ensure accurate implant traceability and compliance with Trust policies and regulatory requirements. Autonomy and Professional Judgement Work with a high degree of clinical autonomy within the scrub role, exercising advanced judgement in complex situations. Identify and resolve equipment or procedural issues in real time, escalating appropriately where required. Act as a clinical expert resource for orthopaedic theatre teams, supporting decision-making and problem-solving. Education, Supervision and Workforce Development Provide clinical supervision, mentorship and informal teaching to Band 5 practitioners, new starters and rotational staff. Support development of orthopaedic scrub competence and confidence within the team. Act as a positive clinical role model, promoting high standards of specialist practice and professional behaviour. Contribute to maintaining a safe and effective skill mix within orthopaedic theatres. Quality, Safety and Service Improvement Ensure accurate, timely and comprehensive documentation within electronic theatre systems, including implants, instrumentation and intraoperative events. Uphold compliance with the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist, Trust policies and professional standards. Participate in audit, education, quality improvement and service development activities relevant to orthopaedic theatres. Promote safe systems of work and continuous improvement in specialist orthopaedic practice. Working Pattern The role operates within an elective orthopaedic service delivered Monday to Friday, with no routine night or weekend working, supporting sustainable senior clinical practice and worklife balance.
