The venous needle dislodgement (VND) project continues to progress well, and in collaboration with Redsense Medical, a clinical poster illustrating EDTNA/ERCA practice guidelines to prevent VND was launched during the Prague conference. The poster was presented during the ERB workshop on patient safety, translated into the official languages of the EDTNA/ERCA, and distributed to all delegates in Prague. A basic text, to accompany the poster, was published in the JRC.

Additionally, endorsement of the poster by the American Nephrology Nurses’ Association (ANNA) is currently being sought. If this endorsement is successful, the poster will also carry the ANNA logo and the phrase ‘in collaboration with ANNA’.
