IFNA members, Dr. Marie Louise Luttik (the Netherlands) and Dr. Barbara Voltelen (Denmark) offered a workshop on Family Health Care Conversations and Care Mapping at the University of North Carolina Wilmington December 16-18, 2019, for a group of 17 nurses from the region.
The workshop was initiated by IFNA member, Dr. Hayley Estrem and a University of North Carolina Wilmington colleague, Stephanie Smith, who worked in collaboration with the South East Area Health Education Center (SEAHEC) to host the event. Drs. Estrem and Smith had an interest in receiving this training for their own individual programs of research, but also had noted interest from other faculty and nurses in practice.
Drs. Luttik and Voltelen customized an exciting, condensed program that was offered in English. Participants were from many practice and research areas, and had nursing degrees from diploma RN to DNP and PhD. The workshop participants will be contacted for follow-up at 3 and 6 months to asses program implementation.
