ICCHNR statement of purpose
A world where community nursing research helps to provide the best equitable healthcare opportunities for all in the community wherever they live.
We bring community nurses across the world together in order to share research findings to inform community nursing practice, education and policy for the benefit of our global communities.
- Regularly convene events to bring community nurses together to share research findings, eg bi-annual conferences/symposiums, annual lectures.
- Foster a global network of community nurse researchers through active collaboration and connection.
- Generate sufficient funds to be able to mentor global scholars (in low- to middle-income countries?) and provide them with financial support to carry out practice-based research and enable them to attend our events.
