Within the operating department the nurse is seen to take on the traditional role as a member of an integrated theatre team. A team can be defined as group of two or more people who recognise common goals and co-ordinate their efforts to achieve them. The operating department team's shared goal is: "the efficient and effective delivery of care with minimal trauma to the individual patient for the relief of suffering, the restoration of bodily function, a favourable post-operative outcome, contributing to the patient's optimal health and return to society, or death with dignity".
在手术室中，护士被视为综合手术团队的一员，承担着传统角色。团队可定义为两个或两个以上的人组成的群体，他们认同共同目标并协调努力以实现这些目标。手术团队的共同目标是：“高效且有效地提供护理，对个体患者造成最小创伤，以减轻痛苦、恢复身体功能、实现良好的术后结果，促进患者达到最佳健康状态并回归社会，或尊严地离世”。
