The purpose of the article is to trace the development of family nursing in Scotland and to describe the work of the Family Nursing Network Scotland (FNNS) since its inception in 1997. Although the origins of the early work are in child health nursing, the Network aims to support family nursing research, education, and practice across all areas of the discipline. Original research provided the impetus for an examination of family nursing in Scotland. Recent research has focused on the preparation of nursing students in Scotland for family nursing practice. Initiatives by the FNNS have raised awareness and encouraged the practice of family nursing. Future goals for the development of family nursing in Scotland are discussed.
