Product specialists with this qualification will have demonstrated their skills and knowledge, which means that their presence in the operating theatre will not compromise patient safety. This is the solution to a problem most people don’t realise exists. Patients, their relatives and other members of the public may not be aware that medical devices personnel are frequently present in operating theatres. However, the relationship between surgeon and medical devices specialist is a critical one. As medical and surgical equipment becomes increasingly sophisticated, surgeons and theatre staff need product support and training provided by the medical devices industry.
