“The 2015 Ansell Cares H.E.R.O. Nurse Service Award for European O.R. nurses was established to show our appreciation and admiration for operating room nurses,” says Peter Dobbelsteijn, Chief Commercial Officer EMEA & APAC Region at Ansell. “We would like to highlight-- to healthcare workers, patients and the public-- the key role perioperative nurses play in delivering positive healthcare outcomes. We see nurses as heroes!”
