Our Vision
The ILC Vision is to transform care globally by valuing and prioritising person-centred fundamental care.
Our Mission
The ILC Mission is to embed person-centred fundamental care in practice globally, through education, research, advocacy, and policy.
We will achieve our Mission by valuing, talking, doing, owning and researching fundamental care.
The ILC foundation principles are outlined in 5 key statements
Fundamental care must be foundational to all caring activities, systems and institutions.
Fundamental care must be explicitly articulated in all caring activities, systems and institutions.
Fundamental care must be explicitly actioned and evaluated in all caring activities, systems and institutions.
Fundamental care must be owned by each individual who delivers care, works in a system that is responsible for care or works in an institution whose mission is to deliver care.
Fundamental care must undergo systematic and high-quality investigations to generate the evidence needed to inform care practices and shape health systems and education curricula.
