About this lecture

Nursing practice, education, and research have all undergone significant transformations in recent decades. This evolving approach to nursing has profoundly impacted care delivery and patient outcomes and is likely to continue shaping practice improvements in the future. The session will explore changes in nursing education locally in Gibraltar over the past 25 years and examine how the development of nursing roles will impact the future workforce, and by extension, patient outcomes.
