The GNPHN is a network of public health nurses, health visitors and community nurses working in public health – and a partner organisation to the Institute of Health Visiting. The aim is to help public health nurses develop their practice where ever they are with a focus on strengthening practice, policy, research, leadership and education.
The main principles of the organisation revolve around strength in togetherness, and the belief that public health nursing practice improves lives. The Network firmly believes that all children, families and communities should have access to public health systems, and will seek to work collaboratively with other groups and organisations, particularly other global and international organisations.
