Orthopaedic nursing is changing at an unprecedented pace and will continue to do so at an accelerated rate in the future. The Journal of Orthopaedic Nursing seeks to ensure that orthopaedic nurses, and allied health care professionals, are able to move forward positively and practively to continually improve their patients' and clients' outcomes at home or in hospital. Research, practice, education and management, at all levels are interlinked to produce a forum for providing evidence-based care related to impaired physical mobility.
The Journal of Orthopaedic Nursing provides:
• Practical and theoretical guidance for trainees and professionals
• Peer-reviewed papers and comments
• Editorial comments, book and policy reviews, events
• Indexed in the CINAHL database, VINITI and BDLIC.
The journal's education strategy and content enable nurses to satisfy professional development requirements for registration as determined by the UKCC.
