IARNA, the Irish Anaesthetic and Recovery Nurses Association, is an organization dedicated to sharing knowledge and promoting good practices in the field of anaesthesia, recovery, and peri-operative nursing. As a member-driven association, IARNA provides a forum for nurses and practitioners from various disciplines to actively participate, fostering open channels of communication both nationally and internationally. To achieve their mission, IARNA offers a range of resources and opportunities.

They encourage nurses to submit articles to the Irish Journal of Anaesthetic & Recovery Nursing (IJARN) and participate in the annual National IARNA Conference held in different centers across Ireland. Through these platforms, they aim to disseminate information, promote evidence-based practices, and enhance the safety and well-being of both patients and nurses in this specialized area. Since its launch in 2002, IARNA has gained national and international recognition, supported by a growing membership database.

Looking ahead, IARNA aims to continue the process of self-development by collaborating with professionals worldwide and creating an educational forum that sets a benchmark for communication and idea exchange.
