Updated October 2021!

We have just completed an update of all the ANTT Procedure Guidelines. 


There are no significant sequence changes so don’t worry if you have recently printed and displayed guidelines. 


The large majority of feedback related to design and readability, such as having larger pictures. To this end, we commissioned a graphic design company, specialist in health care education to freshen up the design. We hope you like them!

How are ANTT Procedure Guidelines created? 

They are designed in collaboration with specialists of each procedure type and based on best available evidence sourced through notable research reviews such as Epic3, INS Infusion Standards etc

How often do they change?

Not often! We have found that health care providers don’t wish them to change regularly as they have invested time in training and poster display. Also, the sequence of such clinical procedures naturally don’t change much. We do however make sure they are updated to reflect significant changes in evidence based care.
