A TOP Bahrain university participated in a global nursing conference held on the occasion of International Nurses Day.
The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland - Bahrain Medical University (RCSI Bahrain) took part in the two-day online conference, held under the theme of ‘A Voice to Lead – Influencing Global Health’, organised in collaboration with the School of Nursing and Midwifery at Keele University, the UK, and featuring 20 distinguished speakers from top global universities.
Two nursing academics and two nursing students from the university delivered presentations centred on nursing leadership, AI in global health and global competence.
RCSI Bahrain also recently concluded its latest curriculum review of the undergraduate nursing programme to align its nursing graduate profile with new requirements in Bahrain’s health strategies, national vision, the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in addition to global requirements by the National University of Ireland (NUI).
The curriculum has been enriched with personal and professional development opportunities and experiences, including participation in varied community engagement activities.
New themes have been added to the curriculum, such as refugee health, domestic violence, care of individuals with special needs, environmental health, artificial intelligence, nursing informatics, social inclusion and health care policy.
The revised undergraduate nursing curriculum will commence in the new academic year 2024-25.
