NSLHD News - 29 November

Bake-off celebrations at RNSH

Perioperative Nurses Week celebrations Royal North Shore and Ryde hospitals recently celebrated Perioperative Nurses Week, which takes place in November every year and aims to raise awareness about the important role perioperative nurses play in surgical care. To celebrate the special week, RNSH held a number of events including guessing competitions, trivia, and a bake-off. Ryde Hospital marked the week with an information stall and some celebratory snacks for staff. Clinical nurse educator for operating theatres at RNSH Emma Fortini said the week aims to raise awareness about the crucial role perioperative nurses play in supporting every detail of surgical care, ensuring that patients receive high-quality care from admission to discharge. “We have over 1,500 patients passing through our operating theatres every month for both elective and emergency procedures, and none of this would be possible without the work of our perioperative nurses,” she said. “Perioperative Nurses Week is a great opportunity to acknowledge the work that perioperative nurses do every day.”
