CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The next FINE Conference seeks to create a space for all stakeholders of nursing education, including students, clinicians and educators, to share, discuss and debate planning the future of nursing education in Europe from a sustainability perspective.
The conference focuses on the contribution of nursing education and educators to the development of a future-proofed nursing workforce, learning from the past, and embracing the possibilities of the future.
This call for abstracts seeks:
