In April 2025, ICCHNR, City St George's and QICN will partner to deliver an international conference in London, with a global option to view the conference virtually.
The conference must therefore be relevant to nurses throughout the world, as well as being focused on community nursing research and the contributions that community nursing makes to health for people everywhere. The overarching theme of the conference will be The Race to Address Health Inequalities by 2030: Community Nursing in the Lead.
This is a theme of global importance: the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations in 2016 with the aim of achieving them by 2030 – only 5 years remain to reach these goals.
Five major themes drive the SDGs: People, Planet, Peace, Prosperity, and Partnership.
While only one of the SDGs (number 3) is explicitly about health, many of the other goals are closely related to health and wellbeing and to deliver on them requires health systems that are affordable and accessible to all and can deliver high quality care. Without nurses, the cornerstone of the global health workforce, this simply cannot happen.
The objectives for the 2025 conference reflect the theme of attaining the SDGs, as well as the overarching goals for ICCHNR and partners. ICCHNR, the Queen's Institute of Community Nursing (QICN), and City St George's, University of London are all committed to promoting the significance of the role of community nurses in population health and wellbeing and demonstrating this through well designed research. The conference offers an opportunity not only to share research but also to bring findings to wider attention to showcase evidence of the critical role that community nurses have in the world.
