BARNA has enjoyed a close relationship with ASPAN for many years. Traditionally the Immediate Past President of ASPAN attends the BARNA conference to deliver a session . ASPAN is the world’s leading association for our PACU speciality. ASPAN was one of the 4 founding societies to launch ICPAN. They have developed Standards, Core Curriculum, Competencies and two publications : Breathline and the Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing. A world leader in research, the ASPAN Annual Conference is multi-tracked over 3 days and is an exciting and stimulating event.
