title: Infection control and universal precautions.
abstract: Surgical interventions are now carried out in many settings other than purposely designed operating theatre suites. NATN is pleased to welcome nurses working in areas other than operating theatres to associate membership of the Association. In response to this diversity of surgical settings, an examination of the basic principles of infection control and the application of universal precautions may be valuable.
