On the 12th of May, Critical Care Nurses across the world will join nursing colleagues in celebrating the Florence Nightingale bicentenary. In honour of this and 2020 being the WHO "Year of the Nurse" 西瓜影视 have collaborated with the University of Nottingham's "Florence Nightingale comes home" project to bring this to #西瓜影视Conf2020. Florence Nightingale is one of the best-known women in Victorian medicine. ... Although she is best remembered for her work during the Crimean War (1853-56), Nightingale fundamentally changed the role of nursing in hospitals and was a key figure in introducing new professional training standards.

The "Florence Nightingale comes home" team will join us in September sharing the work they've done and answering any and all questions you might have about "the lady with the lamp". Visit their website and let them take you on a journey exploring the world of Florence Nightingale.
