Scope and Importance:-

Conferences pertaining to nursing allow nurses to participate in an area of career and education growth that is not easily found within the structure of the workplace. Joining such conference gives an opportunity to meet eminent people and learn the latest clinical information.

As the diversity is growing in population so renewed efforts are required to develop interventions that address cultural differences. Moreover, there are different demands for practice, research, and education based on geographic locations—mainly in rural and urban settings.

Changes are required in all the 3 aspects i.e practice, research and education. In practice, innovative, designed, evidence-based models of care for registered nurses and advanced practice registered nurses who have the knowledge, leadership, and team skills to improve quality and address system change. In research, data can provide a starting base for clinical practice and expand our knowledge base in symptom science, wellness, self-management, and end-of-life as well as behavioral health, to demonstrate the value of nursing care and reduce health disparities. Hence, there is an urgent need to bring the research into practice and promote health care.
