Purpose and Aims
The main purpose of Connect is to provide a forum for critical care nurses around the world to share good practice. It aims to be the voice of critical care nurses world-wide. One of its founding principles is that of support of the critical care nursing speciality. Connect aims to create a nurturing environment that enables all critical care nurses to have a voice. As such, the editors believe that all nurses have something valuable to contribute to Connect that others may learn from. For this reason, no articles are rejected on the basis of language, and the editors undertake to provide help to authors, especially those writing in a second language.
The main focus of Connect is clinical practice, and the editors are particularly keen to receive articles that describe or evaluate developments in nursing. The journal contains a mixture of articles, including descriptions of practice innovation, literature reviews, letters, conference reports, clinical skills guidelines, news items, research and, of course, information about developments in WFCCN.
