Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the International Association of Clinical Research Nurses, I am pleased and honored to invite you to our 8th An- nual Conference entitled “Clinical Research Nursing: Embodying Team Science for Participant-Focused Care.” The con- ference will be held at the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista in Lake Buena Vista, Florida from October 25-26, 2016 with pre- conference sessions being offered on October 24. It’s an exciting time for clinical research nursing as we continue to grow on an international scale, while remaining adaptable, motivated and responsive to opportunities for development of our specialty nursing practice. As part of that landscape, IACRN has recently submitted its “Scope and Standards of Clinical Research Nursing” document to the ANA for recognition of our specialty practice.
Following through on this commitment, this year’s conference highlights both the individual and collective impact that clinical research nurses have on maintaining the equilibrium between the care of the research participant and fidelity to the research protocol. During our conference you can expect to gain knowledge, strategies and tools for adapting your professional practice within a changing global clinical research landscape while keeping focus on what is most important to the art and science of nursing practice, the nurse-client relationship.
Our conference objectives for 2016 are:
Build an evidence base for addressing ethical considerations, interdisciplinary leadership teams and professional development for the profession of clinical research nursing
Identify best practices that ensure quality community/participant focused input and care for clinical research planning and study management
Identify and expand innovative strategies for managing regulatory affairs, site and study management in domestic and international research settings
I hope that each of you see the exceptional value in attending our conference, designed specifically around your needs and your specialty practice and in bringing your expertise to our gathering. You have the vision, the knowledge, and the experience to help us pave our way into the future. You are truly the greatest asset to our organization and we could not accomplish what we do without your support and leadership.
Sincerely,
Margaret McCabe, PhD, RN, PNP President, International Association of Clinical Research Nurses
