Last week, we hosted our Latin America & Caribbean (LAC) Nurse Leadership Training in Lima, Peru, from August 23 to 25. This event brought together 98 nurses from 13 countries, including 17 facilitators and 81 trainees, in a collaborative environment aimed at advancing skills in OR, PACU, and pre- and post-operative care. Through the training, participants had the opportunity to strengthen their #leadership abilities and refine their skills in critical areas of patient care. The program featured sessions on global safety and standards, cleft conditions, nursing leadership, surgical risk assessment, and key anesthesia principles. Workshops delved into perioperative care, infection prevention, emergency management in the operating room, and pain assessment and management, emphasizing the importance of handling emergencies and pain effectively in a surgical setting. To build on these learnings, participants were also introduced to the Johnson & Johnson Mentorship Program, designed to further develop and apply the knowledge gained during the training. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all participants, facilitators, our Operación Sonrisa Perú team, Johnson & Johnson, and everyone involved in making this training a success. Through comprehensive #training and #mentorship programs, we are strengthening the nursing workforce to address diverse healthcare needs and drive positive change in communities across the region. Special thanks to geraldine almanza, Karina Olivo, Rocio Del Carmen Chumpitaz Almeyda, Silvia Natch Bolonhini, Vivian Alexandra Barreto Gaitan, Elizabeth Coté, Emma Livingston, and Johanssel Gonzalez Cid.
