May 12 is the 200th Anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth.
This special webinar will explore Florence Nightingale’s relevance as our modern world is facing an unprecedented pandemic. COVID-19 has spread to over 190 countries and territories, prompting governments to essentially cause a global standstill. Healthcare workers are at the frontline, working night and day to treat those infected while scientists are working around the clock to produce a vaccine.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) Executive Board designated 2020 the “Year of the Nurse and the Midwife” in honour of the 200th birth anniversary of Florence Nightingale (1820-1910).
Modern nursing finds a proud heritage in its founder, Florence Nightingale, a mystic, visionary, reformer, healer, environmentalist, feminist, practitioner, scientist and politician. Her contribution to nursing theory, research, statistics, public health, and health care reform are foundational and inspirational; and her spiritual example prompts us in our own healing journey.
In this webinar we will explore with you the integrative, holistic and integral paradigm that Nightingale introduced in the 1860s and how it applies to the COVID-19 pandemic and reflects the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) towards healthy people living on a healthy planet. This has implications for all of us at a personal and collective level, especially as we live through this challenging time.
Webinar presenters Barbara Dossey, PhD, RN, and Deva-Marie Beck, PhD, RN are Co-Directors of the Nightingale Initiative for Global Health International and Nightingale scholars.
