title: Operating theatres. Funders keepers.
abstract: Recruiting and retaining operating theatre staff is a constant problem for many trusts. One trust has introduced a pay supplement of 1,500 Pounds for all operating theatre staff, and is now planning to implement a single pay spine for all categories of operating theatre staff. The long-standing staffing difficulties suggest it is time to reconsider skill mix in operating theatres.
