#notjusta

The Not Just A… campaign was inspired by Claire Bowen’s presentation of Beth’s Story at the AfPP Annual National Conference 2025.

The campaign recognises the critical role of every member of the operating department in leading safer surgery, regardless of title, band or professional background. It challenges the idea that anyone is “just” a role and reframes safety as a shared responsibility:

I am not just my role — I am part of the team that protects the patient. Every role matters. Every voice creates safer surgery.
