TO: Medical Device Reprocessing Departments
Please join us in celebrating Medical Device Reprocessing Week, October 10 – 16, 2021.
We would like to thank the Medical Device Reprocessing Technicians of Nova Scotia for their dedication and commitment to quality and safe patient care during these unprecedented times. MDR Technicians are the silent heroes of the hospital ensuring all reusable medical devices are properly cleaned, disinfected, sterilized and safe for use on our patients, though most patients will never have the opportunity to meet us.
MDR week is an opportunity to bring awareness to our profession by celebrating the hard work we do. Many MDRD’s provide tours and set up displays to educate patients and other healthcare workers on the important role we play in a patients outcome. With the current restrictions in place, it is unlikely we will be able to do these things again this year.
We are hopeful we will be able to get together again soon to celebrate. Our hopes are for a spring education session 2022 and conference 2023. Please follow our website www.mdrans.ca for updates.
We challenge all Medical Device Reprocessing Department throughout the province to come up with ideas to foster awareness of MDR in your facility.
As we continue to live and work in a world that has been challenging and face the unknown, please stay safe and support each other.
Thank you for your dedication, commitment and courage.
Sincerely,
Debbie Church
MDRANS President & Executive
