GOING FOR GOLD. Inspirational Practice and Excellence in Care

Be motivated. Be Inspired. Be Energised.

Building on the success of previous years, the third Florence Nightingale Foundation Annual Conference took place on 28th February and 1st March 2013 at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in London, and was the biggest and best ever!

This Conference was aimed at all nurses, midwives and healthcare professionals, across all aspects of healthcare delivery, seeking to enhance their Continuing Professional Development or Continuing Medical Education.

The two day Healthcare Learning and Development Conference provided delegates with the opportunity to:

hear from a range of inspirational, high profile speakers
take part in a wide variety of outstanding masterclasses focusing on sharing best practice and practical innovations in Healthcare
network with other senior healthcare professionals and leaders in a learning

Your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) or Continuing Medical Education (CME)

This conference has been developed as a single integrated learning event. Each masterclass programme has clear learning outcomes, mapped to the Knowledge and Skills Framework.

Delegates will have access to electronic copies of the presentations where available and to a structured programme of reflection that can be used for appraisal, registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council or Health Professions Council or for Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL).

As in previous years, we have received Royal College of Physicians accreditation for CPD credits.
