Perioperative Nurses Week
Perioperative Nurses Week is a time to reflect on the incredible impact each of you make in the world of health care. You are the unsung heroes of surgery, ensuring the seamless orchestration of procedures and the wellbeing of those under your care. However, your dedication to precision, care and patient well-being does not go unnoticed!
This week is a reminder to acknowledge not just the tasks you perform but the heart and passion you bring to your profession. Embrace this week as a celebration of your journey, your expertise and the positive impact you have on countless lives. Take a moment to recognise the strength that comes from unity within the perioperative nursing community.
ACORN would like to thank corporate partners and official sponsors of the 2025 Perioperative Nurses Week:
In 2025, the theme is S.T.A.R.S.
Each day will be focused on celebrating the essential roles within the perioperative community.
