We are pleased to announce the 12th International Family Nursing Conference, ‟Improving Family Health Globally through Research, Education, and Practice,” to be held in Odense, Denmark at the Radisson Blu Hotel, August 18 to 21, 2015. The conference will begin with pre-conference workshops on August 18. New in this conference will be expert lectures by prominent family scholars and special sessions that will feature emergent and groundbreaking areas of family nursing research, practice, and theory.
Through pre-conference workshops, plenary sessions, and paper/poster exchanges, attendees will have ample opportunities to learn about recent advances in the field and share their work and ideas with others who are committed to the advance of family nursing. With an eye to the future, the conference will emphasize global issues in the health of families, enhancing family strengths, as well as creative partnerships among researchers, clinicians, and educators that expand the capacity of family nurses to further family wellbeing.
The conference is the second official meeting of the International Family Nursing Association (IFNA), an organization whose mission is to transform family health by serving as a unifying force and voice for family nursing globally; sharing knowledge, practices, and skills to enhance and nurture family nursing practice; and, providing family nursing leadership through education, research, scholarship, socialization and
collegial exchange on all aspects of family nursing.
In addition, there will opportunities to socialize with colleagues at the welcome reception hosted by the city of Odense, during the conference banquet dinner at the Hindsgavl Manor and through special tours for conference attendees.
On behalf of the Program Planning Committee and the IFNA Board, we invite you to participate in this exciting event.
Please encourage your colleagues and students to attend. We look forward to seeing you in Odense in August.
