Workshop participants provided an eclectic and credible range of issues related to the development and implementation of standards, underpinned by their concern for patient safety. In addition, the workshop outcomes have since provided the basis for the Research Committee to develop a research priorities survey to be distributed to the membership in the next 12 months.
