Nurse Practitioner/Advanced Practice Nursing Network 7th International Conference 2012 (RCN 2012)

This event is hosted by the Royal College of Nursing, United Kingdom and will take place in London, the host city of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The event will emulate the Olympic motto of ‘Citius, Altius, Fortius’ (Faster, Higher, Stronger) by showing how advanced nurses excel and lead in clinical practice development across the world. This conference will bring together nurse practitioners, advanced practice nurses, clinical nurse specialists, researchers, educators, policy makers, and managers from around the world to discuss, debate and analyse how advanced nursing, through its innovative practice development, can strive to meet the ever increasing demands placed on both local and global health care systems.
The conference aims to celebrate the global diversity and success of advanced nursing practice in meeting the health care needs of patients and populations in different clinical settings. There will be an emphasis on advanced practice professional regulation, prescribing, educational preparation, applied research, and advanced nurses working in challenging environments.
