ACN’S PRINCIPLES OF WORKING WITH INDUSTRY GUIDELINES
The Australian College of Nursing (ACN) has developed clear principles that must be followed in entering into any relationship with industry, including pharmaceutical companies, manufacturers and suppliers of medical devices, health-related products, information technology and other industry suppliers.
Position statement: ACN has a responsibility to ensure that its interactions with industry are in keeping with ACN’s professional standards and responsibilities to its members, the nursing profession and society as a whole. As such, relationships with industry are appropriate only if they do not conflict with ACN’s core values and do not compromise ACN’s integrity and objectivity.
General principles - The principles which must apply in all instances are:
• conformity with ACN’s intent, core values and strategic directions
• professionalism and ethics, as outlined in the Code of Conduct for Nurses in Australia (2008), the Medicines Australia Code of Conduct 17 and the Medical Technology Association Code of Practice
• no relationship should undermine ACN’s independence
• consistency with ACN policies and practice principles and guidelines
• transparency of process, except for commercial in confidence activities
• regulatory compliance and accountability.
