It is called NURSES FOR EXPO, a network of associations of nurses and organizations that represent them, which organizes cultural initiatives to promote health and showcase the potential of nurses in educating about healthy lifestyles and preventing diseases. This virtuous synergy has led to the implementation of events for months with the same easily recognizable logo (see also the website www.nurses4expo.info and the Facebook page and group Facebook). In particular, an important international conference is scheduled for the days of September 10, the purpose of which is to present a range of experiences that demonstrate the central role of nurses in favor of the health and well-being of individuals and populations.
It also aims to take advantage of the media attention for EXPOMilano2015 and the schedule of EXPO WOMEN GLOBAL FORUM (EWGF), to highlight the fundamental contribution of women, nurses, and the third sector, to influence policies in favor of a more equitable distribution of resources and healthy nutrition.
The objectives of the September 2015 Conference are:
- Make known the World Health Organization's program to promote optimal use of healthcare personnel to improve health and prevent noncommunicable diseases.
- Reflect on the importance of forming qualified nursing leadership to impact the health and well-being of individuals, communities, and nations.
- Use the resources made available by the International Council of Nurses (ICN) and by the National Federation of IPASVI Colleges for professionals and citizens, to promote adherence to healthy eating lifestyles.
- Make known the national and international work of the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO, Canada) in primary prevention and, in particular, the results of implementing guidelines on childhood obesity.
- Sharing experiences of Good Clinical Practice in the field of nutrition for people of different ages and backgrounds.
- Create synergies and "networking" to share knowledge and experiences for the health and well-being of people.
- Reflect on the broader and deeper needs that nourish man and humanity to contribute to leaving a positive legacy for future generations.
