The Challenges of Working in an Operating Theatre

Here at AfPP we've been supporting all those working in and around operating theatres for 60 years. With a combination of professional speakers, superb suppliers and fascinating topics, this is a fantastic networking opportunity for you. There will be the chance to connect with colleagues, exchange ideas, and build relationships with like-minded individuals.
