OR Management Consulting focuses on the operational challenges unique to operating theatres and perioperative services, where surgical demand, theatre capacity, staffing, patient flow and clinical requirements must be coordinated within a complex hospital environment.
Emily Leckie is based in Sydney and brings more than 20 years of nursing and management experience in hospitals, including direct responsibility for the operational performance of operating theatres.
As Nurse Unit Manager of Operating Theatres at Kareena Private Hospital, Emily led a team of 52 nursing staff across anaesthetics, recovery and scrub/scout roles. That role included implementing policies and procedures within a Ramsay Health Care facility, managing departmental profit and loss, and delivering the furniture, fittings and equipment program for the commissioning of two new operating theatres.
From 2014 Emily moved into clinical consulting, account management and capital project roles across NSW and ACT hospitals - first with Welch Allyn / Hill-Rom as Account Manager and Clinical Consultant across a territory of approximately 10,000 hospital beds, then as Senior Clinical Applications Specialist – Anaesthesia ANZ and subsequently Sales Team Leader NSW/ACT, leading a team of four.
That work covered operating theatre, ICU, NICU and hospital-wide patient monitoring and IT portfolios, project management of hospital redevelopments, tender and proposal submissions, and engagement with clinical leaders, Directors of Nursing, executives and procurement bodies at CEO and CFO level.
Hospital redevelopment and capital project experience includes work with the St George and Sutherland Hospital redevelopments and the Randwick Campus and Sydney Children’s Hospital projects, alongside competency-based in-service training for nursing, medical, biomedical and IT staff delivered one-to-one, in classrooms and in theatre-based sessions.
Qualifications listed above are held by Emily Leckie. OR Management Consulting provides operational consulting and does not provide clinical care, and it does not hold itself out as a provider of regulated clinical services.
Perioperative leadership, hospital project delivery and executive-level engagement in the same career - useful when operational recommendations need to work clinically, commercially and practically.
Leading a team of four across core medical business in NSW and ACT, with portfolios spanning operating theatres, NICU, ICU and hospital-wide patient monitoring and IT solutions, including project management of hospital redevelopments.
Clinical applications and education support for anaesthesia and monitoring technology across Australia and New Zealand, working directly with perioperative and anaesthetic teams.
Managed a hospital territory of approximately 10,000 beds covering monitoring, diagnostics, cardiopulmonary and theatre-related portfolios, and project managed installations including the St George and Sutherland Hospital redevelopments.
Led 52 nursing staff across anaesthetics, recovery and scrub/scout, held departmental profit and loss responsibility, implemented policies and procedures, and commissioned two new operating theatres.
Being explicit about scope helps healthcare organisations engage consulting support with confidence.
Engagements range from a focused review of one operational issue - such as first-case starts or block utilisation - to a broader perioperative performance assessment supporting theatre redesign, commissioning or expansion planning.
