Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Hacettepe University, Faculty of Health Sciences Department of Nursing, it gives us great pleasure to invite you to participate in the 4th International Nursing Management Conference. Our theme “Toward a New World: Challenges for Nursing Leadership." was derived from your suggestions at 3.INMC in Kusadasi - AYDIN.
Conference 4 will take place in Belek, Turkey, 13-15 October 2008. Our goal is to create an opportunity for international nursing collaboration and to gain new perspectives on nursing leadership in the future. The program focuses on nurses’ critical role in health care. We expect distinguished speakers as well as oral presentations and poster papers. The following topics will run throughout the conference. |
- Transformation of Nursing Organizations
- Globalization
- Current Issues in Nursing Management
- Developing a Research Infrastructure in Nursing Practice Environments
- Ethical Issues for Nurse Leaders
- Nursing Leadership and Technology
- Leadership Competencies for Nurses
- Creating Practice Environments To Promote Quality and Patient Safety
Conference members will also have an opportunity to participate in an International Accreditation Course. This course will be offered on October 12, 2008, prior to the beginning of the INMC conference.
The fourth International Nursing Management Conference will give all participants ICN continuous education credit as was done in previous Conferences.
The site of our conference, Belek, is one of Antalya’s most historic and beautiful cities. It has been host to many civilizations including the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. When we gather in Belek we will meet the history of Aspendos, Perge and Kurşunlu Waterfall. Aspendos, which is best protected ancient theater in this region, is still used today for concerts, ballet, opera and theatre, as well as films. Nearby Perge was settled by the Hittite civilization and is where Saint Paul first did his preaching. Kurşunlu Waterfall shelters over 100 kinds of birds and is often considered an image of heaven.
In addition to the scientific program, exciting and the colorful social activities await participants. This coupled with the breath taking panorama and exotic surroundings of Belek, will be a place of international nursing leadership exchange.
| I look forward to welcoming you in 4th International Nursing Management Conference in Belek in October 2008. |
Sincerely Yours
Prof. Dr. Gülümser Kublay
4th INMC President of Congress
