STERIS IMS - Key Persons


Angela Kane

Job Titles:
  • Sterile Services Technician
I used to have a very stressful part time job when I started looking online for different vacancies. I stumbled across STERIS and to be honest I didn't really know that a Sterile Service Technician was a job! In May 2017 I started working as a Technician for STERIS and I have discovered a true fascination for surgical instruments which has really boosted my learning and development. I even have an app on my phone where I can practice instrument recognition and learn how the different instruments are used! I am relatively new at STERIS and the support and training I was given when I started was excellent, it is such an important job and you play such a vital role in the care of patients. That said you never feel overwhelmed as there is always management support and refresher training available to ensure you have the right skills and knowledge to perform at your best. I have had surgery and the thought of someone else having their procedure cancelled or delayed due to poor management in sterile services motivates me to stay focused and to improve every day.
