Abstract

Non-technical skills for surgeons are a set of skills that are non-surgical in nature but make the surgical procedure safer for the patient. In this context, this is a study in a tertiary hospital where the non-technical skills of multi-disciplinary surgeons were observed and assessed when they were performing live surgeries. We found that none of our participant surgeons were rated poor for any skills, which endangered performance or potentially endangered patient safety and for which serious remediation would have been required. "Acceptable" standards of "Situational Awareness" and "Leadership" and "Good" standards of "Decision Making" and "Communication & Teamwork", which were the four skills observed.
