A chance to celebrate

In April I joined more than 400 nurse researchers at the 2014 RCN Annual International Nursing Research Conference in Glasgow. It was great to catch up with some old friends and to meet some who were attending for the first time. I first came to this conference in Sheffield in 2000 and have tried to attend most years since then. I have also been involved in planning the conference as chair of the local organising committee (Cambridge 2004), as a member of the scientific committee (2002-4) and as a member of the Research Society’s steering committee (2001-10).
