The OTA Surgical Setup Knowledge Game is an innovative perioperative learning tool currently in development, aimed at assisting operating theatre assistants, trainees, students, and perioperative professionals in building greater confidence, knowledge, and readiness for the surgical environment.
Moving beyond traditional study methods, this game transforms operating theatre training into an interactive challenge. Players will test their understanding of surgical setups, theatre preparation, specialized equipment, procedural workflow, infection prevention, communication, patient safety, and real-world perioperative decision making through engaging questions, practical scenarios, and performance-based challenges.
Every challenge is designed to encourage users to think, respond, and learn within the context of a realistic operating theatre environment—bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical workplace understanding in surgical setup education.
As the game continues to evolve, new surgical specialties, scenarios, challenges, and learning resources will enhance the experience, creating a dynamic platform for ongoing perioperative education.
The OTA Surgical Setup Knowledge Game represents the next stage in interactive operating theatre learning: accessible, engaging, practical, and specifically designed for the professionals who help keep surgery moving.
Learn the setup. Understand the workflow. Build your confidence. Be ready for theatre.
