Position Statements

 

The Australian College of Perioperative Nurses  (ACORN) has developed a range of evidence-based position statements to communicate our position on key perioperative issues.

 

Position statements are written by ACORN expert committees and are based on the evidence available. All statements are reviewed regularly, in accordance with ACORN’s policies.
