2nd
Nursing Conference –
‘Valuing the role of the nurse in the UAE’ 23-25 October
The aim of any nursing community across the world is to ensure quality care for all while maintaining their credentials, code of ethics, standards and competencies, and continuing their education. In this region it’s often that the caretaker and caregiver are from different countries, as opposed to the western world. They speak a different language, practice different religions and come from completely different cultures. This brings it’s own set of challenges to the nursing profession. The healthcare sector in the Middle East is growing rapidly, but this growth could be affected by the
notable lack of trained nurses from national populations. Local governments are working hard to implement strategies to heavily invest and develop opportunities for nationals to consider the nursing profession through training facilities, and a continuing nursing education. Basic nursing education in the region should be of international accredited standards in order increase the value of the role of the nurse. Only education and experience will put nursing leaders in positions of authority. In the west, nurses are constantly put through further education in order to strengthen the role of the nurse and their expert knowledge
and passion of how to care for people. The Middle East is still catching up on this trend. 2010 saw the first Nursing Conference
at the Abu Dhabi Medical Congress, and based on its success, this year the conference is back as an inaugural part of the event. This year the three-day conference
will focus on three major areas of nursing practice: Primary healthcare care: Health promotion and disease prevention
Nursing research in acute and in-patient care Nursing management
A note from the chair:
“This conference is a fabulous opportunity for nurses not only across the UAE but also the region to join together and learn from the experience
of colleagues. The topics this year cover most nursing specialties including topics relevant for leaders, clinicians and educators. This conference is not only critical for formal
learning experiences but provides outstanding opportunities for nurses to network with other nursing colleagues and share their knowledge and practices.”
