In the current financial climate the NHS faces budget cuts. A good knowledge of the costs of the equipment used in theatres will allow more cost-efficient allocation of resources. The equipment used is dependent on the consultant surgeon leading the operation, with individual surgeons having their own preferences. For the efficient running of a department one would assume that the surgeons would have a working knowledge of the cost of equipment. This study looked at the awareness of surgeons of the cost of disposable equipment. It aimed to highlight the difference between the estimated and actual cost of disposable items, providing feedback to the surgeons so they become more aware of the real cost of their choices in order to help optimise use of equipment. This will hopefully lead to more cost-effective theatres.
