Interim SPD and Endoscopy Technicians Staffing
With extensive reliance on sterile processing and GI staffing agency/contract labor to fill technicians and leadership voids, STERIS has significantly invested in providing a better alternative. Our SPD and GI specialists are Certified by the Board for Sterile Processing and Distribution (CBSPD) and/or the Healthcare Sterile Processing Association (HSPA). They receive extensive support and training from our education, compliance, and quality assurance team to ensure they are up-to-date on the latest standards.
Leadership Staffing

Long-Term Staffing
Many healthcare facilities are tired of the revolving doors in Sterile Processing and Flexible Endoscopy and are faced with extensive costs associated with managing turnover (recruiting, hiring, onboarding, education, etc.).
