The Future of Nursing and Midwifery Conference 2014

Venue: University of Salford

Date: 30 Apr 2014

Synopsis: This conference will provide delegates with the opportunity to discuss and debate how nurses and midwives can renew their focus on high quality, compassionate care. Against the backdrop of ongoing reform and change, there is a major opportunity for nurses and midwives to use their power and influence, at the cutting edge of improvement and innovation.

Details:

 

The emerging challenges in health and social care have profound implications for the way nurses and midwives practise, the shape of teams and services, and many aspects of management, education and development. These issues have continually received ongoing attention but even more needs to be done, as a matter of urgency. The renewed focus on high quality care puts nurses and midwives in pole position to improve health outcomes, the quality of care and the experiences of service users – and their expertise will be increasingly in demand as the need for skilled care grows.

Against a backdrop of unprecedented reform and an increasingly tough economic environment, most of the NHS and its workforce face constant pressure to continually deliver a value for money and exceptional level of service to a patient population that has ever increasing levels of expectations and requirements. Whilst many within the NHS understand and deliver the basic necessities of traditional patient service practices, there are times when it has to deal with more challenging patient situations and patient behaviours that they are not necessarily accustomed to.

 

This event will bring key stakeholders together from across nursing, midwifery and beyond. Key points addressed on the day will include:

  • Putting nurses and midwives in pole position to improve health outcomes, the quality of care and the experiences of service users.
  • Raising general awareness of nursing and midwifery expertise
