The 2025 nursing ethics conference engages participants to reflect the value of nursing ethics research, scholarship and multidisciplinary collaborative research on ethically safe care, services and societies from an international, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary perspective.
The 2025 conference will reflect on philosophical, empirical and methodological developments in ethics as applied to care and services in all levels. The conference will bring together international, interprofessional and interdisciplinary scholarship, research, leadership, policy and educational innovations to develop sustainable care, care systems and global health. The programme will provide insights into the wide range of approaches, and we hope all will find their topic of interest to send an abstract and join the conference.

Ethics research, nursing ethics research and scholarships are invaluable as they provide a foundation for ethical decision-making in healthcare. This field of study helps nurses navigate complex moral dilemmas, ensuring that patient care is conducted with integrity, respect, and compassion. By exploring ethical principles and real-world applications, nursing ethics research fosters a deeper understanding of issues relevant to care such as patient autonomy, dignity, confidentiality, and informed consent and also ethically safe working environments.
