The Guidelines for Developing Practice have been devised by IFPN and
ratified by the Council of National Representatives. They represent
best practice principles and are available for any perioperative nurse
to download free!
The evidence contained in the references has been gathered from colleagues
and perioperative organisations around the globe, so whilst they represent
best practice, they do not necessarily meet local legislation and practitioners
should use them and add to them any relevant local frameworks.
The International Federation of Perioperative Nurses thanks all its'
sponsors for their assistance and generous educational grants to enable
all perioperative nurses wherever they may practice, to have access
to the following Guidelines for Developing Practice.
