Directives to all Nurses working in Theatre RE Operating Table Checklist

 

MUMN has been informed regarding the SOPs published on Kura and the relative technical checklist regarding the operating table.

 

Such SOPs and technical checklist which we have today  and also that might materialise in the future are not in agreement with MUMN. Not to mention that all type of technical checklists imposes medicolegal implications on the theatre nurses.

 

Whoever is issuing such SOPS or technical checklists is going against the interest of the nurses and shows clearly that such documents are done by nurses against our profession. MUMN is informed that the nurses who wrote such documents shifted away all responsibilities to other nurses.

 

Therefore, MUMN is issuing a directive to ignore and not implement any current or future checklists since MUMN is protecting you from medial legal repercussions. One has to note that no consultation with MUMN has ever been done on such checklists so as to conveniently shift the responsibilities on the theatre nurses.

 

Such directive is with immediate effect.
