Dr. Manners: Operating Room Etiquette
20 min | Published February 18, 2025
Behind operating room doors, medical teams work under extreme pressure to save lives. And all that pressure can make for a toxic work environment. Research shows that many OR staff and trainees report being victims of uncivil behaviour — rude and demeaning comments, being ignored or sometimes colleagues not even knowing their name. Dr. Carol-Anne Moulton, of University ºìÁì½í¹Ï±¨ Network, is on a new medical mission — to change the culture of operating rooms at one of Canada’s biggest hospitals. The goal? To design ways of promoting civility and friendlier, happier staff while ultimately making things safer for patients.
