The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) invited the NMBI to attend their annual Executive Leadership Summit held just outside of Salt Lake City, USA this month.  

This three-day meeting was arranged to facilitate the collective voice of nursing regulators from each of the states in the USA, the provinces of Canada, and as an associate member also included Ireland.  

Carolyn Donohoe (Interim CEO) represented the NMBI alongside 55 American and Canadian nursing regulators where they discussed emerging themes in global regulation. The summit focused on fraud investigations in the nursing qualifications sector and influencing government policy in a positive way in the interest of the public and the professions. It was a long way to travel but worth the trip to gain a better understanding of global trends and looking at things from a fresh perspective.
