The NNF’s objectives and field of work


The NNF holds board meetings at least twice a year. The discussions at the meetings include national and international matters of importance to the organizations’ members, as well as areas of common interest regarding the profession and public policy.

The organization’s areas of focus include:

  • development of nurses’ competencies and functional areas

  • improvement and maintenance of high-quality nursing services

  • appreciation of the nursing profession, represented by appropriate wages and working conditions

  • influence on decision-making regarding the development of health care and health care policies

  • coordination of the associated member organizations’ efforts in Nordic, European, and international fora

“There are many challenges we need to solve together in the Nordic region. Healthcare systems are essential for how we live in our societies today. The shortage of nurses is a serious security flaw. Cooperation with our closest neighbors is becoming increasingly important.”
