ISSUE SPECIALISATIONS
February/March
Healthy year ahead
Turning New Year’s resolutions into healthy action. Each year, many of us get to February and find our good intentions for changing old habits or creating healthy new ones have waned or failed to get off the ground. This edition will focus on articles looking at how to revive these resolutions in areas such as smoking, nutrition, exercise, health screening and work/life balance; advocating good health for nurses and their patients.
April/May
Celebrating innovation
This edition will celebrate the 100th nurse practitioner and International Nurses’ Day. Nursing Review will mark these two occasions with a series of articles looking at nurse practitioner development in the decade since the first NP was registered, profile some of these NPs, and celebrate nursing innovations that have won International Nurses’ Day awards in district health boards around the country.
June/July
Long-term conditions
A World Health Organization report estimates that 63 per cent of deaths in 2008 were due to chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases and cancer. The international and national focus in recent years has been very much on reducing risk factors like unhealthy diet and inactivity, and improving treatment and management of long-term conditions. In this edition Nursing Review will focus on reporting the latest in best practice and innovations in nursing long-term conditions and helping patients better manage their conditions.
August/September
Wounds and infections
Since Florence Nightingale wrote the first nursing textbook and the first germ theory was expounded, infection control and wound care have been key components of nursing. In this edition, Nursing Review will focus on providing in-depth coverage of the latest research and developments in areas from immunisation to pressure sores and hand hygiene, to venous leg ulcers.
October/November

Best of the year
To wrap up the year, Nursing Review will feature a selection of 2012’s stand-out nursing conference papers, research and innovations.
