Heroes in Hairnets: Perioperative Nurses Week
Honouring our STARS of the Perioperative Team We proudly celebrated Perioperative Nurses Week (9–15 November), a dedicated time to recognise the incredible contribution of our highly skilled perioperative workforce. This year’s theme, STARS, highlighted the essential roles that shine every day within our
Perioperative Services. Each letter in STARS acknowledged a key pillar of the perioperative community, and each day we celebrated with food generously donated by the Anaesthetic Department and Gastroenterology Department. Food brings people together, and it was the perfect way to honour the teamwork, professionalism, and commitment that underpin safe, high-quality surgical care at our hospital. ⭐ S – Scrub/Scout Nurses We kicked off the week by recognising our exceptional Scrub and Scout Nurses, whose expertise ensures every procedure runs safely and smoothly. Celebration: Afternoon tea and a celebration cake generously supplied by the Gastroenterology Department. ⭐ T – Technicians Our Perioperative Technicians are the backbone of the theatre environment, keeping equipment functioning and ensuring workflow efficiency. Celebration: A sweet spread of cupcakes, rocky road, and caramel fudge to treat the team. ⭐ A – Anaesthetic Nurses Midweek, we acknowledged our skilled and compassionate Anaesthetic Nurses, who play a critical role in patient safety and comfort. Celebration: A delicious chicken and salad lunch provided for all staff by the Anaesthetic Department. ⭐ R – Recovery Nurses Our dedicated Recovery Nurses guide patients safely through the postoperative period with expertise, vigilance, and kindness. Celebration: A department-wide pizza lunch, supplied by the Anaesthetic Department, enjoyed by all. ⭐ S – Support Staff We closed the week by recognising our invaluable Support Staff, who keep our perioperative environment running smoothly day after day. Celebration: Coffee and morning tea kindly donated by the Gastroenterology Department.
