Empowering community nursing voices through research
“How can we help?” is often the first question that community nurses ask when they receive a phone call from a distressed family carer, or are faced with a difficult situation.
The Race to Address Health Inequalities Research Conference is a chance for community nurses from all specialities to extend their help beyond patient and service-user care, and through their research contribute to the wider advancement of the community nursing field.
Shifts in society expose community nurses to health inequalities, which can inspire them to explore and investigate through inquisitive questions and research.
Participating in the conference will give you the platform to share your findings, exchange knowledge, and build connections with colleagues who share your ambition and motivation to spark and enact change.
According to the QNI, this is your chance to highlight the inequality challenges which families and community nurses navigate on day-to-day basis, and to collaborate with like-minded colleagues to address them.
As an early-career researcher, this conference offers you a welcoming audience to present your findings confidently, build your research network, expand the horizons of your knowledge, identify collaboration opportunities, and inspire your next research proposal. Please submit your abstract by 30 November.
Whether you are an internationally educated nurse looking to integrate yourself into the UK healthcare workforce, or visiting to present your work, this conference welcomes you with open arms.
It will host a diversity of perspectives, foster international friendships, and stimulate multi-cultural conversations between community nursing researchers.
The conference also welcomes community nurses from any specialism in the UK. Please submit an abstract by 30 November to be considered for an oral or poster presentation. The conference will take place at City St George’s University, London, on 15-17 April 2025.
If you need any further support in submitting an abstract, please email the QNI at mail@qni.org.uk.
