Leadership in Nursing Excellence

Nursing and health care are highly challenged to provide excellent patient care through continuous improvements of process and outcomes. Therefore, to achieve a resilient and adaptive organization that attracts and retains highly professional and skilled nurses and midwifes becomes essential. This summer school treats concepts and evidence on organizational context of nursing practice and illustrates how ANCC Magnet® and Pathway to Excellence principles were implemented in European health care systems.

We provide the opportunity for institutions to send a delegation of two or three motivated representatives.
