Invitation
Invitation to become a member organisation of the World Federation Of Critical Care Nurses (WFCCN)
Dear Critical Care Nursing Organisation Delegate
On the 30th October 2001, a number of critical care nursing organisations were represented at a meeting of nurses during the 8th World Congress on Intensive Care in Sydney, Australia. At this meeting they developed and endorsed a constitution to form the World Federation of Critical Care Nurses (WFCCN).
A council made up of one delegate from each member organisation has been formed to govern the initial activities of this organisation. In addition a core administration has been elected for the first two years to lead the activities set by the council.
One of our initial aims is to invite as many critical care nursing organisations on to the federation as possible so they may inform us of their particular needs and interests. In addition, we hope to support such organisations and their members through the establishment of a WFCCN journal, web site, conferences and other activities as they emerge over the next two years and beyond. To ensure we are an inclusive body in the world of critical care nursing we have undertaken NOT to charge member fees. We are actively seeking corporate sponsorship to cover the costs of our most necessary activities to meet this stated aim. You and your organisation will not pay any money to WFCCN if you choose to join as a member.
Membership is open to organisations of critical care nurses, not to individuals. In those countries where critical care nursing organisations do not exist, we invite individuals to nominate to be associate members of the WFCCN to facilitate communication and to explore ways in which we may be able to help them form a critical care nursing association in their country.
The application form is designed to simply get your organisation registered with the WFCCN and to initiate dialogue with your official delegate to the WFCCN.
Could you please complete the online application form or download and complete the PDF application form and return your response to Maria Isabelita, WFCCN Secretary – m.isabelita@wfccn.org
If you have further questions please do not hesitate to contact Maria, myself or one of the council members of the WFCCN.
Yours sincerely,
