The 16th International
Philosophy of Nursing Conference
*in Association with the International
Philosophy of Nursing Society (IPONS)
'Nursing in the 21st Century'
10th-13th September 2012
University of Leeds, UK
The practice of nursing has changed in response to a number of external and internal drivers such as government policy,
professional body requirements, the impact of globalisation and economic upheaval. Advanced practitioners with far reaching skills are a feature of
modern nursing and, in some countries, there is a substantial increase in the number of non qualified assistant practitioners. Programmes that prepare
students to become registered practitioners are mostly at undergraduate level and in some instances post graduate level, and it is not uncommon for practising
nurses to hold masters degrees and doctorates. But what are the effects of these and other changes on what might be thought of as the traditional values of nursing
such as caring, maintaining dignity and individualised care.
Papers presented at the 16th International Philosophy of Nursing Conference seek to address the meaning of nursing in the 21st century.
We will discuss what is understood by the practice of nursing in the 21st century, how we may describe nursing in 2012, and explore what the future holds.
