RCN launches first ever protocol for animals in health care

RCN launches first ever protocol for animals in health care New guidance supports hospitals and other health care services to explore the use of animal therapy.

The RCN protocol provides evidence-based best practice criteria so that hospitals and other health settings can introduce animals into the care environment.

By following it, services will be able to ensure the safety of patients and health care staff as well as the animals and their owners, while allowing patients to reap the benefits that interaction with animals can bring. Royal College of Nursing
