The Role of Nurses in Value-Based and Patient-Centred Care

Nursing staff work in almost every stage and setting of health and care, serving as the vital link between doctor and patient. As such they have an important role across a wide range of public health interventions. Their knowledge and skills and their relationships with patients and the population makes them important advocates in their care and integral part in preventing illness, protecting health and outcomes that matter most to patients.

As such the session aims to showcase the role nurses play in delivering patient-centric care and highlight the importance of recognising, measuring and rewarding the value nurses bring to patients’ outcomes improvement.
