Learning Together: Preparing for the Future Address to the World Operating Room Conference

Address to the World Operating Room Conference

Résumé

Looking down the road to the future of Perioperative Nursing, I find it hard to even expect what the year 2017 will look like. I can only be guided by the great advances in the past 20 years. The world of surgery and perioperative nursing has already been transformed into something quite different from what it was 20 years ago. At the rapid pace that we are heading into the next millennium, we can only expect that things will change even faster. So how do we prepare for that? What do we need in order to be ready for the next 20 years?
