The 2025 NANDA-I Conference, in conjunction with The Institute of Health Sciences at Universidade Católica Portuguesa (Lisbon) and Boston College (USA), will be hosted in Lisbon, Portugal. The theme of the conference is Transformative nursing: Knowledge in motion, synergy in practice. Our invited keynote speakers have been asked to address themes including: the transformative nature of nursing knowledge, and its importance in advancing nursing practice to serve all people; is there room for nursing knowledge in the future of interdisciplinary care? These issues are not country-specific; they are global in nature. They are not solely theoretical; they have real-life, practical implications. And the possibilities that these speakers have the ability to present include pathways that can refocus our profession, build community around our discipline and the need for our unique voice and holistic focus, and can provide clinicians with tools and insights to ensure we are there to serve those who need a nurse, not merely a helper to other professions.
Registration will open on December 1, 2024. Look for the announcement here, on our social media, and in our member newsletter.
Preconference sessions will be $50 each for members, $100 each for non-members, and $25 each for MS/PhD students. No charge for undergrad students.
