JurongHealth Campus Nursing Symposium 2017
Close to 300 nursing delegates from various public healthcare institutions, intermediate and long-term care institutions and nursing homes were hosted at our very first JurongHealth Campus Nursing Symposium. The two-day symposium centred around the theme “Building Capability for Quality and Safety”, and covered a range of topics such as providing quality care, inculcating best practices, patient safety, harnessing IT to improve patient care and work processes, and developing resilience in the nursing career and more. It provided a platform for nurses to gain insights into the latest trends and developments in healthcare practices and facilitated open discussion on the challenges and issues faced. It was an insightful learning session and the knowledge gained will certainly help to challenge standards in providing healthcare to the community.
