Where patient trust is essential

Article Abstract:

A report on theatre or perioperative nurses removes the misconception that these nurses perform only technical work and have no contact with patients. Various examples of theatre nurses show how they instill confidence and trust in patients before surgery, and how they personalize and humanize their care during post-operative recovery.
