Welcome to the INGID web site

Welcome to the web site of the International Nursing Group for Immunodeficiencies (INGID). The aims of the group are given below, and all who are involved with Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders (PIDs) are very welcome to find out more about the group, and to join the group.

The 2006 Budapest VII INGID meeting from October 4-7 was a very successful one, and many of the presentations from that meeting can be seen on the 'Presentations' web page. A review of the meeting will shortly be available on the 'Biannual Meetings' web page. The VIII INGID meeting will take place in 's-Hertogenbosch (The Netherlands) in October 2008, and already, the new INGID Board has started work preparing for that meeting.

As members of INGID, you will be kept up-to-date on all developments over the next 2 years, but now is the time to start thinking about presenting your own papers or posters at that meeting. It is an opportunity to let other nurses throughout the world know about the exciting work that you are all doing in the field of immunodeficiencies (as well as through the INGID eJournal).


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.

INGID President

Gaby Strotman of Germany was elected President of INGID in Budapest for a 2-year term.

Full contact details regarding the President and Board Members can be found on the web page 'How to contact us'.
