I have extensive experience in managing surgical unit operations, including scheduling, inventory management, and ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations. I have worked closely with surgeons, nurses, and support staff to maintain efficient workflows and patient care standards. My background includes overseeing surgical equipment maintenance, coordinating emergency procedures, and ensuring the unit runs smoothly during high-pressure situations.

I thrive in high-pressure environments by staying calm and focused. I prioritize tasks, communicate effectively with the team, and ensure clear protocols are followed. My experience has taught me to anticipate potential challenges and prepare contingency plans, which helps maintain a steady workflow even during emergencies.

I implement a robust inventory management system that includes regular audits, vendor communication, and predictive ordering based on usage trends. I also collaborate with procurement teams to ensure timely delivery of supplies and maintain a backup stock for critical items to prevent delays in surgical procedures.

I regularly review and update safety protocols, conduct staff training sessions, and perform routine inspections to ensure compliance. I also work closely with infection control teams to monitor and address any potential risks, ensuring a safe environment for both patients and staff.

In a previous role, I streamlined the scheduling process by implementing a digital system that reduced wait times and improved resource allocation. This resulted in a 20% increase in surgical throughput without compromising patient care. I also introduced a cross-training program for staff, which improved flexibility and reduced downtime during staff absences.
