NZONA is an organisation of concerned nurses and other health professionals who are involved in the field of orthopaedics.

Philosophy

The New Zealand Orthopaedic Nurses' Association (NZONA) believes that nurses who provide care to individuals with neuromuscular and skeletal disorders require a specific body of knowledge to deliver the highest standard of care, within the unique cultural context of NZ society.

We believe that this knowledge is acquired, maintained and advanced through basic knowledge, continuing education, standardisation of processes, sharing of information, practice and research.

Orthopaedic Nursing.

support for nurses in the care of orthopaedic patients.

To promote the active involvement of the membership in health promotion and disease prevention activities as appropriate to orthopaedic nursing.
