Fundamental care matters to all of us.
The ILC brings people together to influence and transform how fundamental care is delivered globally. We provide the opportunity for our members to connect and learn from leaders within their field and provide a platform to collaborate and contribute to real-world systems change.
What is fundamental care?
Fundamental care respects and focuses on a person’s essential needs.
These needs are met through a positive and trusting relationship with the person being cared for, including their family and carers.
