IFIC’s Vision is that people, families & communities benefit from person-centred integrated care & support to maximise their health, wellbeing and independence.
As we begin 2026, we look back on 2025 and what shared learning across countries made possible.

Across IFIC’s hubs, networks, education and our international conference, one message stood out: progress happens when people connect and learn across boundaries.
