The Danish Christian Nursing Association (DKS) is an interest organization with a focus on nursing with meaning – for the whole person, and works for more dignity in the health care system, for both patients, relatives and nursing staff.
We are for all care groups in the health care system and others who share our visions (support members). DKS is independent of trade union and political interests and not affiliated with any particular church direction. We are part of an international network, Nurses Christian Fellowship International.
CMF Nurses and Midwives is a growing national nursing and midwifery fellowship in the UK and Ireland, and a member of NCFI. Our vision is to see Christian nurses and midwives revealing God’s heart for humanity, uniting and equipping them to live and speak for Jesus.
We partner with CMF doctors, with whom we have some shared resources and events. We have our own team of staff and volunteers, as well as online and printed resources, conferences, and courses. We have an annual conference in early May called NAMfest (Nurses & Midwives Festival) as part of the CMF national conference.
We try to connect new members in regional or local groups and support group leaders with training, prayer, and online resources to make leading as easy as possible, while being mindful of how busy everyone is! We especially love to give input to students and newly qualified nurses & midwives, and to invest in young leaders, with the aim of planning for the fellowship’s long-term future.

SSKS was established in 1948 for the spiritual care of nurses. It is a member organization of Nurses Christian Fellowship International (NCFI). The purpose of our group is to support the Christian faith and spiritual growth of health care professionals and students in the field and to deliver a liberating message of the gospel to health care personnel and students in the field.
In addition, we seek to deepen the Christian understanding of human care and to support the overall care of the patient by helping caregivers also respond to the patient’s spiritual needs. We invite nurses, midwives and students in these fields, as well as other health care personnel, to our activities.
Our purpose is: to bring together nurses and nursing students to help them practice holistic care in accordance with Christian faith and ethics, communicate the Christian faith and the Christian view of man in education, profession and social life, and maintain and strengthen the spiritual dimension in nursing theory and practice.
KFSS provides affiliation in a national community of nurses and students who see the value of spiritual care in the nursing profession and motivates holistic thinking. KFSS arranges subject days and seminars alone or together with other organizations or colleges. The organization provides opportunities for local study groups and prayer groups.
