N2 - The aim of this study was to adapt the Scottish tool, Scrub Practitioners' List of Intraoperative Non-Technical Skills, to Danish organisation and culture (Mitchell et al 2013). With an explorative and qualitative approach, four group interviews with scrub practitioners, surgeons and anaesthesia staff were conducted. The main differences found were related to communication and teamwork regarding scrub practitioners' focus on the team and speaking up. Differences in the non-Technical skills described in the behavioural markers are perhaps explained by cultural differences between Scotland and Denmark. A new tool for scrub practitioners in Denmark was adapted.
