Nurses and midwives across the
Commonwealth mourn the death of
Queen Elizabeth II
The President and Board of the Commonwealth Nurses and Midwives Federation (CNMF), and on behalf of nurses and midwives from all 56 Commonwealth countries, express their deep sadness at the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
Queen Elizabeth II was always a role model nurses and midwives could identity with: dedication to duty, steadfastness in the face of adversity, and commitment to a lifetime of service to the peoples of the Commonwealth.
On International Nurses Day 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Queen Elizabeth II took the time to telephone Professor Kathleen McCourt, President of the CNMF to send a message of solidarity, thanks, and encouragement to nurses and midwives across the Commonwealth.
 
Queen Elizabeth II was held in the greatest respect and affection by nurses and midwives across the Commonwealth: as their Queen and Head of the Commonwealth, but also as a working woman and a mother, successfully juggling multiple roles with dignity, courage and good humour. We will hold her memory and her example in our hearts.

6th Commonwealth Nurses and
Midwives Conference
The CNMF Board have taken the
decision to postpone the 6th Commonwealth Nurses and
Midwives Conference which was due to be held in
2022. The CNMF was very fortunate that a successful
5th Commonwealth Nurses and Midwives Conference was
able to be held just before country lockdowns due to
the COVID-19 pandemic. It is still very difficult
for CNMF members fom many countries to travel
internationally. The 6th Commonwealth Nurses and
Midwives Conference will therefore be postponed
until 2024. Information regarding the date, venue
and theme for the Conference will be available at
the end of 2022. |
