Reflections on an evolving discussion of the future--an overview of the NI2006 post congress conference.
Each of the five working groups in the NI2006 Post Congress Conference produced a paper summarizing the discussions within their group. This paper provides a summary of the evolution of the discussions, from initial presentations through the final papers. Some of the common themes emerging are presented, including the changing role of the nurse, the impacts of technological and demographic changes, the importance of genomics, and introduces the concept of u-nursing, meaning nursing as practiced within a context of ubiquitous technologies.
