JPN: The trusted source of knowledge for Australian perioperative nurses

Abstract

I am delighted to have the opportunity to take on the role of editor of this prestigious journal. I thank the ACORN board for entrusting it to me. I am reminded that in state and national member surveys the journal is consistently rated as the most valued member benefit so I do not take this responsibility lightly. For over 30 years it has been a trusted source of knowledge for Australian perioperative nurses and I intend to work hard to maintain that trust. During my tenure, I also aim to make this journal the most highly regarded perioperative nursing journal internationally.
