FOCUS ON AN ICN MEMBER
On 9-10 June, the Japanese Nurses Association held its AGM which featured reports and discussions on JNA’s priority policies: establishment and promotion of the community-based integrated care system; enhancement of positive practice environments for nurses; promotion of the role expansion of nurses; development of nursing human resources capable of meeting the needs of the super-aged society with fewer children. On 11 June, JNA announced that it would be pursuing various ways to approach and address dementia with the aim to create a society in which people with dementia and their families can continue to live their lives comfortably in their familiar communities.
