What’s at the center of all the washing, assembling, and sterilizing in an SPD that keeps patients safe and surgeries moving forward? People. Skilled technicians who manage to get the job done regardless of the stressors, work environment, or available tools. As an industry, how to we recognize these sterilizing superheroes and help get them the tools and support they need? Dr. Peter Nichol, Pediatric Surgeon and industry advocate, joins us to discuss the general lack of peer-reviewed research in the Sterile Processing industry and what he is doing to change that.
