Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes in surgery? As an anaesthetic practitioner, Pamela right there! She teams up with the anaesthetist, who decides the type and duration of anaesthesia for the patient’s surgical procedure, and follows their plan. Pamela also makes sure anaesthetic equipment and devices in the operating theatre are set up and ready for the day.

It's a role built on trust, precision (seriously, details matter!), and being part of an amazing theatre team. Her ultimate goal? Making sure all patients get the safest, best possible care. It's intense, rewarding, and a total team effort!
