Another highly successful VPNG Introduction to Perioperative Nursing course was held over the last two days at Epworth Richmond.
Our Intro course has been recognised as a fantastic first-step for those interested in exploring perioperative nursing and also for novice practitioners (less than 6 months experience). If you know someone who is keen to try, but nervous to take the plunge into anaesthetics, scrub/scout and post-anaesthesia nursing, encourage them to stick their toes in the water with our 2-day Intro course.
Next course - Feb/March 2024. Location - TBC. Keep an eye on our socials!
