Topics such as artificial intelligence, wound management and sustainable practical instructions reflected the current need for knowledge in nursing.
Workshops and lectures provide information about developments in nursing
“The nursing forum is a strong signal against the ongoing shortage of skilled workers and for the nursing profession,” emphasizes Deputy District Administrator and Head of Health Frederik Schmitt. According to his information, there will be a shortage of 310 nursing professionals in the Fulda district in 2024, measured in terms of supply and demand. “This number will increase in the coming years. The nursing forum has set itself the task of showing the whole picture and, above all, conveying the interesting and positive sides of the nursing profession,” Schmitt continued.
Teachers and nursing staff have the opportunity to book various workshops directly at the trade fair, some of which can be credited as further vocational training. There will also be a stage program with various lectures and question and answer sessions throughout the day. An overview of the program and registration options can be found here Internet.
