Please could you kindly send me details of courses on steralization, ive been working in a ssd department alone for two and a half years, im not a nurse so would really like to get some kind of certificate, my employer is happy to pay for this. I dont mind if it is a course in u.k. or a course by post.

I seem to be the only E.O operator in cyprus,

thankyou

Dear Jackie,

If you search through our Question/Answer-Site you see that you are not alone, looking for an education course.
See the EFHSS Educational links:

• OTEN Open Training and Educational Network Australia
• Purdue University Correspondence Course "Central Service and Material Management"

Also Answers to the previous questions:

• Answer to Question Q00070 from Gillian Sills (Brown Short Course)
• Answer to Question Q00173 from Patricia Oliver "Technical Vocational Qualification for Sterile Service Staff"
• Answer to Question Q00180

In the meantime and if you have a "waiting time) to enter a course it would be a good idea to get a book on sterilization, e.g. recommended on our site.

Kind regards
Josy

Jackie,

A lot of UK steriliser engineers get their qualifications here.
