IFNA CONFERENCE NEWS
According to members' feedback after IFNC12 in Denmark, there is interest in having a few sessions in the host country's language. In response to this feedback, the Conference Committee's goal is to have one Spanish-language session during each of the IFNC13's concurrent sessions. All abstracts need to be submitted in English for peer review. Achievement of this goal will depend on the number and quality ratings of abstracts submitted by IFNA members selecting the option to present in Spanish. We look forward to this new presentation option.

To learn more, please plan to attend the 13th International Family Nursing Conference (IFNC13) in Pamplona, Spain in 2017. Our theme will be " The Art and Science of Family Nursing: Transforming Health for Families ."
