The INP practices locally responsible collaboration. We believe this is only made possible by the investment in human innovation and through equal partnerships. This is why, working with local nurse champions, we continuously work on our professional relationships with our partners while facilitating post graduate nursing education and training. We believe in empowering nurses around the globe to improve health through a more autonomous, locally sustainable nursing profession.
