ICN Press Release ...Geneva, Switzerland, 22 January 2016 -The International Council of Nurses (ICN) today announced the invitation for applications to attend the 2016 Global Nursing Leadership Institute (GNLI). Interested nurses in senior or executive level positions from across the world can access all information and application forms on http://leadership.icn.ch/gnli/. The 2016 GNLI will take place from 17-23 September 2016 in Geneva, Switzerland, where ICN is headquartered. Read more after the jump.
“Strong nursing leadership is critical if we are to make our voices heard,”
said Pierre Théraulaz, ICN’s Acting
Chief Executive Officer. “Nurses have a key contribution to make in the
global health agenda and the GNLI helps prepare nurses for that role.”
With the theme “Nursing opportunities in a world focused on sustainable development”, the seven-day, residential programme
will enable selected participants to learn
how to understand their role in developing a workforce able to meet new
challenges; contribute to strengthening health systems; and influence
the development
and implementation of policy at the international, national and local
levels.
Around the
world, political agendas are focusing on the importance of HRH planning
in order to achieve the newly approved sustainable development goals
and universal health coverage. Today, nursing leaders
are facing some of the greatest opportunities to build partnerships and
alliances, to strengthen the health workforce. Participants of the
2016 Global
Nursing Leadership Institute will learn about how we provide quality
nursing care today as well as plan our human resources for health in
order to meet the care needs of future generations.
Established in 2009,
the Global Nursing Leadership Institute offers an advanced leadership
programme for nurses in senior and executive level positions in high,
middle and low income countries. The programme draws
on the expertise of international expert faculty, allowing participants
to review and enhance their national and global leadership skills and
behaviours within a collaborative and stimulating learning culture.
The 2016 GNLI will be facilitated by Lesley Bell, former ICN nurse consultant.
Special thanks to Pfizer, Inc., our
founding sponsor for the Global Nursing Leadership Institute, who is
once again supporting the programme in 2016, and to the Burdett Trust
for Nursing who supported
the GNLI from 2011 to 2015.
Further information and an application form can be downloaded from the ICN website
