Nursing in Critical Care is a peer-reviewed journal that is at the forefront of critical care nursing and is central to the BACCN's philosophy of promoting personal and professional development in the art and science of critical care nursing. The journal is edited by John W. Albarran and Professor Julie Scholes with contributions from a number of national and international figures within critical care nursing.
The aims of Nursing in Critical Care are to improve standards in patient care and to develop excellence in practice through the dissemination of accessible, high quality and scholarly publications. Additionally, papers published within the journal seek to advance and extend understanding of clinical practice and theory and to support the application of knowledge to influence patient outcomes.
The journal provides opportunity for critical care nurses and others to share ideas and knowledge through publication. The coverage of the journal deals with a range of current and unusual topics of relevance to adult and paediatric critical care nurses, we have an increasing number of evidence based papers from international authors as these can provide inspiration for local practice development. Over the past years the journal's international profile has gained prominence and is now included in a number of databases.
