Who is on Noah’s Ark and Where Will We Land? Judith Shamian, President International Council of Nurses 2014 Annual Nursing Education Conference Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders Johannesburg, South Africa 25 June 2014
Mandate of Transformation& IMPACT!!!! www.icn.ch ICN - Advancing nursing and health worldwide
International Council of Nurses • Founded in 1899 • 135 member national nursing associations
International Council of Nurses ICN’s vision: - to lead our societies toward better health. Three pillars: • professional practice • regulation - socio-economic welfare.
Reflections…Where is Nursing?!?! Role of Nursing Education and Leadership
Have we prepared the practitioners we need for care and leadership? Can they/we Manage complex systems and care: Wicked Problems?
Nursing Collusions in the Making!! We are at risk of crushing www.icn.ch ICN - Advancing nursing and Heath worldwide
Who Drives the Global Agenda for Health??? • World Bank • African Development Bank • IMF • Regional Governments (EU) • Governments • UN (Summit on NCDs) • Private Sector (PPP) • Finance Institutions www.icn.ch ICN - Advancing nursing and health worldwide
How we Move Forward? Role of Education? Role of Leaders? Role of Nursing Organizations?
Questions to Consider • What is the role of education systems? • What is the role of Associations/organizations? • What is the role of government& stakeholders? • What is the role of civil society? • What is the role of professionals? • What is role of funders? • How we manage the global geo-political reality???
Education The aim of nursing education is to create a new generation of nurses and nursing faculty who can offer us new ways of thinking about the nature of nursing. And a new generation of nurses who are active, informed and responsible citizens.
Challenges to Education & Educators: • shortage of faculty • new and ever-evolving diseases • lack of sufficient resources • new cadres of health workers • Do more with less Need to manage inside and outside of the nursing Bubble
Inside the Nursing Bubble CNOs: Leaders NNAs Unions Educators Regulators
WHO PAHO African Union ILO World Bank UN ICRC OECD
It is essential that nursing works with other health care organizations, with governments and with non-health care organisations to ensure our impact (voice is heard).
Building on our collective strengths Health Canada
ICN’s Strategic Plan 2014-2018: Themes • Global Voice • Strategic Leadership • Policy Impact • Diversification
LONG JOURNEY Be at the table Speak out Work together Be strategic Don’t give up Lead Persevere Local/regional/ International partnerships
Let’s not miss the boat! We know that nursing is critical to the future of healthcare – it is time that we let others know as well.
Positional Bargaining vs Interest-Based Bargaining Let’s make sure that we land at the desired finish line!!!
