Graham PerryHaines
Scrub Assist was founded by Graham PerryHaines, a Perioperative Nurse Surgical Assistant (PNSA) with over 24 years of operating theatre experience. Starting in 2001 as a Scrub/Scout, Graham has worked across public and private hospitals, gaining expertise in every major surgical specialty. His background also includes clinical simulation training and sales support for orthopaedic devices, giving him a unique edge in intraoperative assistance.
In 2024, Graham advanced his practice to become a qualified PNSA, specialising in orthopaedics – particularly upper limb, sports medicine, arthroplasty, and trauma surgery – while remaining adaptable to assist in general, plastic, and cosmetic procedures.
At Scrub Assist, we provide highly skilled, reliable, and flexible PNSA services, supporting surgical teams to operate efficiently and deliver exceptional patient care. Whether you’re seeking specialist orthopaedic support or an adaptable surgical assistant, Scrub Assist is your trusted partner in the operating room.
