Theatre etiquette Delphi: the development of a guide on professional conduct and best practices in operating environments

There was agreement among a large international group of surgeons to develop a standardised guidance for theatre etiquette, addressing most of the key aspects of professional conduct and team dynamics. We anticipate that this guidance will serve as a valuable resource for orienting new members of the surgical team, providing a clear framework for maintaining professionalism and fostering effective communication within the theatre environment.
