Amy Anderson has worked with plastic surgeons for over 20 years. As co-founder of BrinsonAnderson Consulting, her goal is to develop employees to be the very best support for their surgeons and to be advocates for their patients.
be the best support for your surgeon
Your surgeon must trust you to set up the room properly, to ensure sterility is maintained throughout the entire procedure, and to speak up if there is a concern about patient safety.
be an advocate for your patients
Your patients trust you to ensure their procedure is performed in a safe and sterile setting. This means it is your responsibility to take ownership of the procedure room and to be vigilant about your and your team members' sterility at all times.
