Nursing Global Conference

Nursing is one of the fundamental services in healthcare. These services are essential to patient welfare and advance health benefits, yet facilitate effective delivery. The session will discuss some of the functions of nursing with regard to best practices, patient-centered approaches, and some strategies to promote excellence in nursing practice in different clinical settings.

In most cases, nurses are considered the first contact along the journey that patients take into healthcare. Nurses are primarily caregivers. They are crucial in diagnosing the needs of the patient, planning a care plan, and the administration of therapy. This holistic approach of care therefore involves physical, emotional, and social care for the patient, and thus the nurses can reach out to all the needs of their patients. Therefore, patient-centered care is the basis of the nursing profession, with a paramount role of empathy, communication, and respect for the preferences of the patient. Strong nurse-client relationships generate a sense of support among the nurses, enabling the patients to make an effort in their own healthcare.

The best practices also provide evidence-based practice guidelines; that is, evidence-based principles guiding every decision that a nurse has to make-from infection control to medication administration, pain management to patient care with chronic diseases. Nurses update these practices based on evolving and changing trends in medical technology, healthcare regulations, and emerging patient care needs through regular training and professional development.

Nurses are integral parts of health care teams besides direct patient care. They often work together with physicians, specialists, and allied health professionals. This interdisciplinary approach has better coordinated care, reduced the risk of errors, and actually better yielded patient outcomes. Nurses also played an important role in healthcare advocacy by working with the community to promote health education and disease prevention. Nurses prevent the existence of chronic diseases through health promotion activities and give education on healthy living lifestyles to patients.

This session will cover guidelines of nursing in the healthcare concerning the roles of nurses in varied care settings, importance on clinical skills, and how patients may be kept at the center of care. To this end, issues that will be covered include communication techniques, time management, and the means whereby one stays updated with best practices. With these guidelines, nurses will excel in their roles, promote a safe health environment, and enhance the quality of the given care.

These guidelines will direct the nurses who understand the importance of professional development and clinical excellence in ensuring that patients are provided with compassionate, high-quality nursing care that addresses both the needs of the patients and the health systems.
