The 16th International Symposium – Challenges Affecting the Strengthening of the Role of Nurses in Modern Society

The 16th International Symposium on the theme Challenges Affecting the Strengthening of the Role of Nurses in Modern Society opens a new cycle of nursing, scientific, and international meetings. This tradition of symposia began in 2001 as the annual South Bohemian Nursing Days with international participation, initiated by the then Head of the Department of Nursing, Prof. PhDr. Valérie Tóthová, Ph.D., dr. h. c. She launched cooperation with foreign partner universities and established a rotational system, whereby since 2008, each subsequent symposium is organized by a different partner university.

The partner universities are: Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra, Faculty of Social Sciences and Health Care, Slovakia; University of Pécs, Faculty of Health Sciences, Hungary; and the University of Rzeszow, Institute of Nursing and Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Poland.

So far, the evaluation of this symposium model confirms its significant benefits, especially through mutual meetings focused on addressing shared professional topics. The invitation is extended to representatives of education and practice in the fields of nursing, midwifery, and paramedicine, as well as to all who are involved in or interested in the development of these disciplines.

The aim of the symposium is to explore possibilities for further development and improvement of patient care, where the integration of theoretical knowledge and quality practice is regarded as a necessary foundation of a professional approach.

We warmly invite you to participate in this symposium.
