Aims of INGID
The International
Nursing Group for Immunodeficiencies (INGID) was formed in 1994 by
nurses who were working with children and adults diagnosed with
primary immunodeficiency disorders.
The aims of INGID
are to improve and extend the quality of nursing care of patients
with primary immune deficiencies, and to increase the awareness and
understanding of primary immunodeficiencies amongst nurses.
This is being achieved by:
- Forming international
networks of nurses working with patients who have immune deficiencies
in order to share knowledge, experience, information, and research.
- Creating a base within the specialty for international collaboration between nurses in research/quality assurance projects.
- Working closely with ESID
(the European Society for Immunodeficiencies), IPOPI (the
International Patient Organisation for Primary Immunodeficiencies),
EFIS (the European Federation of Immunology Societies), and with others
who have an interest in primary immunodeficiency disorders.
- Organising biannual INGID meetings. These are held at the same time and in the same place as the ESID and IPOPI meetings.
