I became a member of IPONS in 2015 due to my interest in nursing philosophy. My philosophical writing is underpinned by ontological and epistemological issues relating to nursing and the world in which it takes place. To this end my presentation “Critical Illness as a biographical disruption” at 15th IPONS Conference including my publications though not in the Nursing Philosophy, serve to expand nursing knowledge in this area.
