Surgery is really a team sport
Abstract/
A surgical team consists of healthcare professionals from various
disciplines, all with different priorities,
roles, expertise, and experience.
This interdisciplinary team relies
on the skills of all members and
conducts interdependent tasks in a
highly dynamic work environment,
with a shared goal of delivering
safe surgical care.
The requirement
for effective teamwork and
communication within and across
health-care teams and organisations
to deliver safe, high-quality surgical
care is well established.
Therefore,
we champion the importance of
enhancing leadership capabilities for
all surgical team members as a way
to strengthen surgical ecosystems
in the countries in which we work.
