Christian nurses in Europe are connecting with each other despite the differences in lanuages, nursing traditions, and large movements of nurses around the region.

Dansk Kristelig Sygeplejeforening – DKS
http://dks-forum.dk/

The Danish Christian Nursing Association (DKS) is an interest organization with a focus on nursing with meaning – for the whole person, and works for more dignity in the health care system, for both patients, relatives and nursing staff.

We are for all care groups in the health care system and others who share our visions (support members). DKS is independent of trade union and political interests and not affiliated with any particular church direction. We are part of an international network, Nurses Christian Fellowship International.

LATEST NEWS

We were so fortunate that we had our National Conference March 6th-7th just before the country locked down due to Covid 19. Around 80 nurses gathered around the theme “Beautiful moments in nursing”. This time we had more young nurses with us than usual, which was very encouraging.  See the pictures here: https://dks-forum.dk/landsmoede-2020/

Christian Medical Fellowship – Nurses and Midwives
http://www.cmf.org.uk/nurses/

CMF Nurses and Midwives is a growing national nursing and midwifery fellowship, and member of NCFI. Our vision is to unite and equip every Christian nurse and midwife to live and speak for Jesus.  

We partner with CMF doctors and have some shared resources and events, but we have also developed our own staff, volunteers, online and printed resources, conferences and courses. We try to connect new members in groups regionally or locally, and support group leaders with training, prayer and online resources to make leading as easy as possible, aware of how busy everyone is. We especially love to give input to students and newly qualified nurses & midwives, and to invest in young leaders, trying to plan for the long-term future of the fellowship.

Finnish Nurses’ Christian Society (SSKS)
www.ssksry.fi

SSKS was established in 1948 for the spiritual care of nurses. It is a member organization of Nurses Christian Fellowship International (NCFI). The purpose of our group is to support the Christian faith and spiritual growth of health care professionals and students in the field and to deliver a liberating message of the gospel to health care personnel and students in the field.

In addition, we seek to deepen the Christian understanding of human care and to support the overall care of the patient by helping caregivers also respond to the patient’s spiritual needs. We invite nurses, midwives and students in these fields, as well as other health care personnel, to our activities.
