The [Surgical Innovation Fund] funding to support training for perioperative nurses was a valuable strategy to address our health human resources challenges, which are critical to surgical recovery. The in-house training program allowed hospitals to invest in their own nurses . . . while providing our experienced perioperative nurses the opportunity to share their expertise and mentor their colleagues.Leslie Gauthier, Hamilton Health Sciences
