Future practitioners.... advancing nursing practice in the perioperative setting.
The aim of this article is to consider how perioperative nursing practice may be advanced in the future. Imagine a new operating department, in a brand new hospital, where you have been given the task of finding and developing a team of perioperative nurses. Where will they come from, and how will they be developed? It is hoped that the remainder of this article may give some answers to these questions before providing some food for thought as to how nursing practice may advance.
