The theme for the 15th International Family Nursing Conference (IFNC15), is “Family Nursing throughout the Life Course.” IFNC15 will focus on engaging nurses¹, interdisciplinary colleagues, and families worldwide in exploring and discussing family nursing across the life course. Our conference will address family nursing at any points across the life course, i.e., from the perinatal period to childhood and young adulthood, through adulthood to older adulthood, and at end-of-life and during times of bereavement at any life course period and include technological advancements. The conference will emphasize promoting national and international collaborations among families, researchers, educators and clinicians to promote the capacity and capability of family nurses as advocates for optimal family health and well-being throughout the life course.
¹When using the term Nursing we mean Nursing & Midwifery
