The ICCN conference is sponsored by the International Society of Nurses in Cancer Care (ISNCC); founded in 1984. More than 60,000 nurses from across the world belong to ISNCC. This includes representation by national cancer nursing bodies, regional cancer nursing societies, oncology institutions as well as individual cancer nurse practitioners, researchers and educators. The mission of the organization is to maximize the influence of nursing to reduce the global burden of cancer.
The International Conference on Cancer Nursing (ICCN) is the longest running international conference for the nursing profession which brings together international cancer nursing leaders from around the world.
“Working at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance provides the opportunity for nurse researchers to actively practice a team-based nursing role in bedside science, and research supportive care programming,” said Dr. McDonnell. “We continually support nurses in this work, because at the end of the day we want to move the care forward, across teams, roles and boundaries.”
