The IND theme for 2009 is: Delivering Quality, Serving Communities: Nurses Leading Care Innovations. The content of this year's kit, including the poster image are posted here as downloadable documents for use by individual nurses, associations, health ministries and health institutions. This material has already been disseminated to national nurses' associations worldwide. Though mainly planned around May 12 each year, IND activities continue for much of the year by nurses and others. We encourage nurses everywhere to make extended use of the Delivering Quality, Serving Communities: Nurses Leading Care Innovations kit throughout the year, through individual action and group activities.
