Since its creation in 1899, ICN has had a major and legitimate interest in the regulation of the profession. It has supported the passage of appropriate nursing legislation and, through studies, seminars and publications, has consistently sought appropriate and effective regulation. Its strongest effort in this area to date has been "The Nursing Regulation: Moving Ahead" project launched in 1988 with the support of W.K. Kellogg Foundation and other development agencies. And now after 11 workshops involving 77 countries around the world, the project team takes a recapitulating look at the project's evolution and promising outcomes.
The importance of professional development and what it means for nurses was described in a previous issue of International Nursing Review (March/April 1997). Below is a look at lifelong learning as reflected in continuing professional development for nurses, some international trends that influence health care, the international linkages taking place and the areas to be targeted for future professional development programmes.
