NMBI President, Essene Cassidy and CEO, Sheila McClelland were special guests and speakers at the annual conference of the Irish General Practice Nurse Education Association in Waterford in early May.

Around 200 delegates heard from Ms Cassidy and Ms McClelland, who outlined the role of NMBI, in particular in relation to education.

Key statistics from MyNMBI, the organisation’s digital registration system for registrants, were shared with the delegates.

Ms Cassidy also took the opportunity to give a short presentation on the future of Enhanced Community Care.

Ms McClelland said: “I wish to sincerely thank IGPNEA National Chairperson Mary Jordan and her hard-working committee for the invitation to address the conference and speak to so many of our valued practice nurses from all over the country.

“The conference was of huge value to NMBI, especially during this consultation period on our next Statement of Strategy 2023-25.”

Ms Jordan added: “I want to offer my sincere thanks to both Essene and Sheila for their attendance at the conference and sharing such fascinating and important information with our delegates and members.

“We look forward to continuing our engagement with NMBI in the time ahead.”
