OTCON 2026, organised by RGCIRC on August 8, 2026, focused on advancing operative nursing and perioperative patient care. The conference highlighted the expanding role of OT nurses in patient safety, infection control, surgical preparedness, technology-enabled procedures, teamwork and clinical decision-making. Key discussions covered robotic surgery, surgical-site infection prevention, instrument management, bleeding management and high-reliability OT practices.
A major highlight was the launch of “Mastering Operative Nursing: Theory to Theater,” a practical and evidence-based book aimed at strengthening nursing education and clinical practice. Overall, the event reinforced RGCIRC’s commitment to continuous learning, nursing excellence, multidisciplinary teamwork and safer surgical outcomes.
