Periop Concepts is proud to announce a new education partnership with Cura Day Hospitals Group (Cura) as part of an exciting trial program supporting day surgery nursing education and professional development across Australia.
As the leading day hospital providers in Australia, Cura continues to invest strongly in the education and professional development of its nursing teams. Through this partnership 12 Cura sites in Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria will gain access to the Periop Concepts Day Surgery Nurse Education Program - a fully integrated, online, and accessible learning platform designed specifically for perioperative and day surgery environments.
The program has been developed to support consistency in education, build clinical confidence, and strengthen everyday practice across multiple sites. All content is aligned with the ACORN, ACPAN, and the NSQHS Standards, ensuring nurses are supported with practical, evidence-based education that directly translates into patient care.
Jeffrey Woods, National Clinical Governance Manager at Cura Day Hospitals Group, highlighted the value of the partnership in addressing key education and workforce challenges:
“For me, this partnership is really about supporting both the professional development and everyday practice of our nurses. It helps tackle one of our challenges, which is variation in experience and confidence across sites, by building capability in a very practical, accessible way.
What I’m most excited about is how this creates a clear pathway toward professional recognition through speciality certification.”
Andrew Goyen, General Operations Manager at Periop Concepts, said the partnership reflects a shared commitment to advancing perioperative education:
“We’re incredibly excited to partner with Cura through this education partnership. Cura has an outstanding commitment to developing its nursing workforce, and this collaboration allows us to support that by delivering accessible, high-quality perioperative education at scale.
Our focus is on building confidence, capability, and consistency in everyday practice, while supporting nurses on their journey toward ongoing professional development and recognition.”
The program will roll out across participating Cura sites in May & June 2026, setting a new benchmark for accessible, modern perioperative education and helping establish a new standard for day surgery nursing education across Australia.
