Low Income Country Conference Stream

Introduction

Voices of Change: Shaping the Next Era of Critical Care Nursing

We invite you to participate in an inspiring virtual stream at the upcoming joint British Association of Critical Care Nurses and Irish Association of Critical Care Nurses conference. This event unites a diverse global community dedicated to advancing excellence, innovation, and compassion in critical care nursing.

We are excited to introduce a specific virtual conference stream for delegates from low-income countries in collaboration with the Birmingham City University’s Centre for International Health Partnerships. This stream will include all keynote sessions, followed by oral presentations from virtual participants. Our initiative aims to improve access for critical care nursing professionals in low-income regions, where in-person attendance can pose significant logistical and financial challenges. By providing this virtual option, we hope to create a platform for delegates to share their valuable insights and experiences, promoting inclusivity and diverse perspectives in our global discourse.

We encourage delegates from low-income countries to seize this exceptional opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions and exchanges throughout the event.
