Sláintecare: Nursing's Challenge All-Ireland Nursing Festival
NMBI Speak at All-Ireland Nursing Festival
 

Earlier this month our Interim CEO, Carolyn Donohoe and our Director of Fitness to Practise, Orla Crowe spoke at the Sláintecare: Nursing's Challenge All-Ireland Nursing Festival.

This festival took place at the Helix in DCU, Dublin on 11 June with the aim of providing information to nurses and midwives to enable them to adapt and change to meet new needs, skills and specialisms.

In her presentation, Carolyn spoke about the role of NMBI and how professional competence, when used with the Code of Conduct and Ethics and Scope of Practice, can ensure that nurses and midwives deliver the best care for service users.  

Orla spoke about the fitness to practise process and provided an overview of the latest data in relation to fitness to practise complaints received by NMBI.

Carolyn and Orla's presentations are available online and can be watched back through the links below. 

As part of this session, Dr Mary Ryder also gave an insightful presentation on the curriculum review research (RUNME) which was commissioned by NMBI and the Chief Nurses Office. This research report will inform our work on the Expert Review Body on Nursing and Midwifery, and in developing new undergraduate standards and requirements.
