Welcome to the Essential skills for emerging nurse managers!
Indeed, it is my pleasure to invite you to be part of this symposium about “Essential skills for emerging nurse managers”. We are planning to make this symposium the first of its kind in UAE, due to the wealth of the program and the expertise of the speakers.
Nurses at all levels require managerial skills to carry out their roles and tasks on daily bases, in addition to the big proportion of nurses who are assuming exclusively managerial roles. Having adequate managerial knowledge therefore is critical.
It is acknowledge that while nurse professionals receive thorough training to become safe and competent clinicians before and during their professional career, less training is usually provided for them to cover their managerial responsibilities and tasks, or when they transition to managerial roles.
This symposium therefore becomes extremely important, it constitute a comprehensive learning experience that assists both nurses and emerging nurse mangers toacquire skills in leadership, communication, conflict resolution, change management, quality principles, teaching and supervision, scientific evidence critical appraisal, in addition to other equally interesting and important topics.
I will be looking forward to welcome you on this symposium, which will be an opportunity to expand knowledge as well as network with experienced speakers, and nurse colleagues.
Dr. Nabeel Al-Yateem
Chair of the Symposium
