Nursing Now 2011
Person-centred care & Parkinson’s Disease
Saturday 24th September 2011 | 9.30am – 4.00pm | Lismullin Conference Centre
For the past ten years, the Nursing Now conference has helped nurses caring for the elderly to improve their professional standards and gain a deeper grasp of the ethical issues that can arise. Underlying the conference is the Christian perspective of the dignity of the human person.
Nursing Now 2011 focuses on two major issues. The title for the first session is ‘Person-Centred Care: Dignity & Respect’, while the second part is entitled ‘Parkinson’s Disease: Optimising Quality of Life’. The conference features Miriam Kennedy (Consultant Psychiatrist, St Patrick’s University Hospital, Dublin), Tania Spellman (Director of Nursing, TLC Nursing Home, Straffan), Rena O’Hara (Director of Nursing, Ryevale Nursing Home, Leixlip), Pauline Kirby (Activities Coordinator, TLC Nursing Home, Straffan) and Brian Magennis (Clinical Nurse Specialist in Parkinson’s Disease, Mater Misericordiae University Hospital).
