Nursing Philosophy

The Official journal of the International Philosophy of Nursing Society

Edited by:
Derek Sellman


Nursing Philosophy is an international peer reviewed Journal for nurses and healthcare professionals seeking to articulate a more theoretical basis for their practice.

Established in response to the emergence of a substantial research interest in philosophy as applied to nursing and health care, the Journal provides a unique forum for discussion of issues at the very foundations of nursing theory and practice.  Publishing original research papers, dialogues, critical responses and books reviews, the Journal critically analyses the conception and differing accounts of the role of the nurse and the relevance of intellectual movements to nursing.
