Why join the IFNA – UK and Ireland Chapter?
Nurses, midwives and health visitors/public health nurses play a vital role in family nursing in the UK and Ireland. They work with and support patients, caregivers and their family members across the life course. The IFNA – UK and Ireland Chapter is a newly formed membership group that aims to support and empower nurses, midwives and health visitors in their work with families.
Membership of the IFNA – UK and Ireland Chapter is currently FREE.
It is open to any practising or retired registered nurse, midwife or health visitor/public health nurse working in the UK or Ireland. Membership is also open to academics and researchers working in fields related to family nursing. We also welcome patients, caregivers and other family members interested in family nursing to join. The Chapter is a mark of our collective commitment to family nursing and also brings professional benefits for academic and clinical members. We are the only professional network for those interested in family nursing in the UK and Ireland. We warmly invite you to join the Chapter and to become part of this new, exciting and evolving body of likeminded nurses, midwives, health visitors/public health nurses and people passionate about family nursing.
