Fellows
ACORN Fellows are special members who have made a significant contribution to the goals of the College and perioperative nursing or demonstrated professional excellence.
The 2002–2004 board were admitted as foundation Fellows to form a cohort to support initial applications.
The criteria for and selection processes of this prestigious category of membership are currently under review.
