A BSc in Operation Theatre Technology (OTT) equips you to work in the Operating Theatre and emergency healthcare departments. Hospitals employ OTT graduates to work as Operating Room Assistants to Surgeons, or Anesthetists, and Nurses in ‘A’ Class Operating Rooms. Their duties include setting up the OT and sterilizing the instruments as well as the room in preparation for the surgery. They also assist in post-operative procedures and manage OT activities efficiently.
Private or government hospitals also offer work placements for OT technologists in the operation theatres, ICUs, and the emergency wards. An OT technician, Anesthesia technician, or even a surgical assistant can be served with further studies in management healthcare. Other available positions include medical research laboratories, educational institutions, and diagnostic centers. With experience, an individual can become a senior OT technologist or even a subspecialist in one particular surgical discipline. In summary, a BSc OTT is an excellent course giving good prospects in the healthcare sector.
