Special Session presented on Friday, 22 July 2016: The purpose of The Global Advisory Panel on the Future of Nursing (GAPFON) is to advance nursing's voice and vision in the context of global health by engaging nurses to lead the formation of health and social policy. This purpose resonates with STTI's mission to advance world health and to celebrate nursing excellence in scholarship, leadership, and service. To lead local, regional and global change effectively, nurses must be recognized for their knowledge and expertise by key global organizations and governments. As a global initiative, GAPFON will invite thought leaders who can influence change, including ministers of health, chief nurses, regulatory bodies, nursing associations and educational institutions to participate in global regional meetings. Examples of stakeholders include STTI, ICN, WHO and the UN. These meetings will serve as a catalyst to stimulate collaboration towards refining nursing education and curriculum development, advancing positive global health strategies, strengthening nursing, and enhancing health outcomes worldwide. Recommendations are expected to address leadership, education, policy, workforce, work environment, MDG's/SDG's, and NCD's. During this presentation GAPFON's purpose will be discussed, as will the initial outcomes and recommendations from the global meetings held to date in the Middle East, Pacific Rim, Caribbean and Latin/Central America. Strategic action plans based on measurable outcomes will be discussed and recommendations developed regarding the process of consensus building among all stakeholders to identify key issues by region from a cultural and political perspective.
