Nursing in Practice Belfast 2017
Nursing in Practice travel all over the United Kingdom to bring qualified primary care and community nurses free-to-attend, engaging and thought-providing, events. Our second event of the year took us to Belfast.
We welcomed over 300 nurses from the local area to Nursing in Practice Belfast, where they gained clinical knowledge and insight to take back and implement in their workplace.
A whole range of topics were discussed, including sessions on sepsis, diabetes and epilepsy. Our nurses had the chance to reflect with colleagues and peers, hear from local speakers on latest developments for primary care, and spend time discovering the latest innovations to support their practice in our exhibition space.
Other highlights included:
- Recognising and managing autism spectrum conditions in primary care
- Obesity: Is emotional eating the missing link?
- Understanding dementia: Supporting people with dementia and their carers
Now in their 14th year, Nursing in Practice events are free-to-attend and are designed to support nurses in gaining participatory learning hours, building their knowledge, and helping them stay at the cutting-edge of the latest treatments and guidance. The event offered in-depth, engaging seminars, interactive demonstrations and an educational programme that focused on key areas that are a priority for practices.

The Nursing in Practice events are also conscious of bringing together the nursing community with other key stakeholders from the healthcare industry, with the event also offering an exhibition alongside the conference.
