About IFPN

Welcome to IFPN. Our organisation is young and dynamic and works hard to fulfil the objectives, the strategic aims, and the current work in progress.

Newsletters are produced for the website regularly, to keep members up to speed with activities. When a newsletter is posted, the previous one is archived, so that a continuous record is available.

We have 13 members (which are noted elsewhere) representing some 80,000 perioperative nurses around the world, and we are working hard to introduce new members to the benefits of membership.

If you are wishing to join the membership you will want to know:

  • That an increasing number of IFPN guidelines are available as download from the site.
  • That the affiliation of IFPN to ICN provides a link and a stream of monthly information from ICN on international activities and nursing issues forming policy and influencing WHO agendas.
  • IFPN is the only Perioperative nursing voice at ICN.
  • Membership categories are full membership and pre-membership status.
