If you work in the medical device industry and need access to operating theatres, you'll almost certainly need a Theatre Access Qualification.
This is because hospitals have a responsibility to ensure that everyone entering restricted clinical areas understands patient safety, infection control, legal responsibilities, professional conduct and clinical protocols.
