Lauren Grech from the University of Malta had a message as a newly graduated #midwife- "we need continued support and guidance from our senior #midwifery colleagues and to use evidence based practise to inform our profession for the future". #WHOCNO2018

I was very proud to launch the @NursingNow2020 campaign earlier this year. #NursingNow is a formidable force of both global and grass-roots efforts to raise the status of nursing and strengthen the role of #nurses in achieving #HealthForAll https://t.co/MNbynmPP9w

@prox_n @EuroCnos @VivJBennett @JaneMCummings @JWCNO @elizabeth_iro @NursingNow2020 @ICNurses @WHO We have just been informed that 2020 will be the @WHO year of #Nursing. Strong advocacy for nursing to be a solution to many health and care problems. @JWCNO Asks how do we achieve greater gender balance across our profession?

"More health workers leads to better health outcomes". Carey McCarthy from #WHO presented a number of papers supporting investment in, and global development of the role of #nurses and #midwives and how strengthening the health workforce strengthens the entire system. #WHOCNO2018

[EURO CNOS 2018 @EuroCnos]

Nurse to patient ratios are a critical issue in #nursing and #midwifery in Ireland, and globally, as evidenced by the presentation by Siobhan O'Halloran. When staff is below recommended levels, adverse outcomes increase. Investing in Safe staffing is the solution #WHOCNO2018

[EURO CNOS 2018 @EuroCnos]

Thanks to Walter Sermeus for his presentation on the evidence of how #nurses and #midwives impact on patient safety. But we still need investment in HR, to increase student numbers, recruitment in rural areas, & focus on HWF retention, quality & patient satisfaction. #WHOCNO2018

[WHO/Europe @WHO_Europe]

Strengthening #nursing and #midwifery can help the European Region make progress towards the Health 2020 goals. But it’s not just about more nurses and midwives − it’s about adapting training and education to make sure they can meet health needs. #PrimaryHealthCare #HealthforAll

[WHO/Europe @WHO_Europe]

Giving #nurses and #midwives scope for advanced practice roles is a key step to achieving Health 2020 goals. It’s at the top of the agenda for this week’s meeting of nursing and midwifery leaders in Athens. #nursingnow #WHOCNO2018

[WHO/Europe @WHO_Europe]

Evidence-based practice can help #nurses and #midwives provide even better care for their patients, closing gaps in care and achieving better health outcomes. #nursingnow #WHOCNO2018

[WHO/Europe @WHO_Europe]

#Midwives and #nurses care for their patients − health systems need to do the same for them. Nursing and midwifery leaders say better work environments will improve recruitment and retention. #nursingnow #WHOCNO2018
