On the occasion of International Nurses Day 2024, RCSI Medical University of Bahrain participated in a twoday online conference under the theme ‘A Voice to Lead – Influencing Global Health’, organised in collaboration with the School of Nursing & Midwifery at Keele University, UK, and featuring 20 distinguished speakers from global esteemed universities.

Among the participants, two nursing academics and two nursing students from the University delivered outstanding oral presentations on the themes of nursing leadership, AI in global health and global nursing competence.

In this ongoing global context, RCSI Medical University of Bahrain recently concluded the latest curriculum review of its undergraduate nursing programme to further align its nursing graduate profile with the newest requirements of Bahrain’s health strategies and National Vision, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in addition to global requirements by the National University of Ireland (NUI).

Professor Kathryn Strachan, Head of School of Nursing and Midwifery, commented, “We believe that patient care and healthcare services are evolving toward global practices, and our latest undergraduate nursing curriculum has the depth and breadth to prepare our nursing students to cater to current and future needs.”
