Overview

In the last year many nurses have been quick to respond and see the opportunity that the quality agenda presents to the profession.

Both to redefine itself and to demonstrate and quantify the value of the services that nurses provide. This important event is your opportunity to explore the important work being delivered by nurses.

Much of the current emphasis around nursing quality has been on measurement and the development of nurse sensitive indicators. This is obviously crucial, particularly as a means of assuring against incidents like those at Mid Staffs, and this conference will provide the very latest information on nursing quality metrics.

However, indicators are only a part of the wider quality framework. How and where they fit will be explained fully at Delivering High Quality Nursing Care 2009. 

All measurement is for the purpose of improving the quality of care and the experience’s of patients. This conference will help you understand the big picture of quality improvement. And specifically, spell out the crucial role of nurses in leading this with practical examples.
