Conflicts of interest
Reviewers stand down from abstracts submitted by their own institution, a current collaborator or a supervised student. Those submissions move to another panel member with relevant expertise.
Credentials
Full credential strings are published for every panel member. In nursing they define scope of practice and certification, which is the information a submitting author needs to judge the panel.
Joining the panel
The committee is refreshed annually. We recruit doctorally prepared nurses and senior APRNs with a publication record and review experience, currently with gaps in informatics, telehealth and paediatric practice.
