Submit a Request for Endorsement

The Centre for Perioperative Care (CPOC) offers endorsement of external projects and all requests endorsement require you to fill out an application form. We regret we are unable to consider endorsement requests without this attachment.

Endorsement

Endorsement is defined as formal badging with the CPOC logo or brand displayed on or in the final product and the provision of a CPOC statement confirming formal endorsement.

For CPOC to endorse a publication, it requires that a named representative chosen by CPOC be involved in the development of the external organisation’s publication from the outset. The representative will be identified and chosen by the CPOC Executive. This is usually via membership of a working party, and the representative must make it known to the external organisation that their role in the development of the publication involves representation of CPOC.

CPOC representatives are expected to provide the CPOC Board with early sight of the publication to allow opportunity for consultation before it is presented for final endorsement.

CPOC will not endorse publications that have been developed without its involvement. In rare cases in which the document is particularly relevant to perioperative care, the CPOC Board may make an exception. In these circumstances, endorsement may only be granted following a thorough review by two CPOC Board members, one of whom will be familiar with the subject matter area, who will make a recommendation on endorsement to the CPOC Board.
