The INHSU 2026 Nurses’ Committee
About the committee
We’d like to thank this year’s nurses’ committee members for their input into the INHSU 2026 program. You can meet the committee members below. If you’re interested in joining the nurses’ committee to help shape future nurse-related activities at our conferences, you need to be a current INHSU member. We also run nurses-only meet-ups during the conference – check the program when you arrive for details.
