Beyond the borders: innovations for international excellence in nurse education

This conference will address a range of critically important themes relating to nursing education. It is designed to bring together nursing educators from across the globe, who are proactive in providing innovative educational practice to meet the changing needs of nursing; nursing students and health care personnel. Such education will facilitate effective systems for patient care delivery wherever that may be.

Some of the world’s principal leaders in the global context of nursing education and practice today will be invited through keynote speeches to share evidence, views and innovations about nursing education for nursing practice. This is also an
excellent opportunity to develop a strong global network with nursing education colleagues internationally.
