The Hacettepe University Faculty of Nursing is honored to invite you to the 7th International Nursing Management Conference which will be held between 25-27 October 2018 in Bodrum, Turkey.
Jo Corlett argues that “the theory-practice gap has been the subject of much debate within nursing. Issues include: where the gap is, whether it is a positive or negative phenomenon and whether attempts should be made to bridge it”. Both educators and managers have worked together to answer these issues.
As a result of these discussions we are proud to announce the conference theme: “Nurses are Hand in Hand: Impacting the Future of Health Care”.
Nurses responsible for leading or managing a professional practice ask themselves how they can create a climate where: Nurses grow and flourish, patients and families receive the highest quality care, and professionals work collaboratively to ensure quality patient care.
The conference addresses these issues:
• Enhancing interdisciplinary collaboration in health care
• Management and leadership for best practices in health care
• Practitioners and educators: Sharing the responsibility for creating a safe culture
• Evidence based practices impacting health care
• United for the future: Learning from experience
The program will be a memorable one, one in which recognized experts address the conference topics in both oral and poster presentations.
We will be requesting continuing education credits certification from the International Council of Nurses. This has been approved for previous INMC conferences.
We look forward to welcoming you in Bodrum, Turkey, in October 2018.
