title: Communication skills in the operating department.
abstract: In the second of our Back to Basics series, Marion Taylor and Claire Campbell explore the subject of effective communication within the perioperative area. Communication is often cited as an essential element in the smooth running of any department, and this article gives food for thought for all, from novice to expert. As ever, if you have any comments, use your communication skills and get in touch with me via NATN headquarters.
