The European Conference is entitled ‘Caring Across Boundaries: The Challenge of Nursing in a Globalised World’, and will address the themes of globalisation, trans-cultural nursing and in particular look at the experiences and insights of migrant nurses with the backdrop of Bible expositions focussing on Daniel as an example of a man of faith living and working in a cross cultural setting.  It will provide an opportunity for participants to contribute to the debate and to listen to leaders in the field of world health and faith.  Globalisation affects our professions, our families, our faith and the health of our societies, and we wish to encourage as many nurses from as many different nationalities as possible to contribute.

There is, at a national and an international level, an increasing awareness amongst Christian nurses that in order to influence the development of nursing practice, to sustain faith within a changing health care scene and to develop the skills to meet the needs of patients in any cultural setting, it is necessary to support and encourage one another and to share our expertise and knowledge.

Both the Christian faith and the profession of nursing cross boundaries, and internationally Christian nurses share common aims and purposes.  They can influence the development of nursing practice as they unite and identify with each other in faith and in their common caring purpose.

There are a limited number of scholarships available to support attendance at the conference, which are particularly for those from Eastern Europe, and you are invited to apply today.
