The 26th International Nursing Philosophy Conference, hosted by Sydney nursing school, will be held at the University of Sydney in the Susan Wakil Health Building from 27 - 29 September 2023.

The program , will aim to elucidate nursing’s ability to challenge the threat that uncertainty brings to all facets of human existence and provide leadership in dealing with these issues through a philosophical lens.

The Sydney Nursing School’s aspiration of caring and teaching emphasises interconnectedness and inclusivity within and beyond our campuses. It is for this reason we are collaborating with like-minded academics, the International Philosophy of Nursing Society (IPONS) and the Centre for Philosophy (Irvine, USA) and invite you, nursing academics and students, from Australia and beyond to join us at this important conference. We invite you as speakers and delegates. We invite you as colleagues to share and gain knowledge and expertise through presentations and workshops.

The University of Sydney’s story is that of “Education for all, leadership for good.” It’s DNA substrate of progressive thinking, breaking with convention, challenging the status quo, and improving the world around us, reverberates with this conference theme. In hosting a philosophical conference with the theme “re-imagining a nursing ecosystem in an uncertain world” we are reinforcing the vision of progressive thinking, breaking with convention, challenging the status quo, and improving the world around us.
