Nurses in the public health setting are performing leadership, management and supervision roles. Nurses may also perform additional tasks such as community organizing and take on the roles of public health officers.
To provide valuable information on “Leadership in Public Health Nursing”, the University of the Philippines College of Nursing (UPCN), the country’s premiere nursing school, will be conducting a webinar on May 12, 10 a.m. to 12 noon, with Hon. Cora A. Añonuevo, former member of the PR-Board of Nursing, as resource person. This webinar will be held via Zoom and livestreamed on the UPCN Facebook page.
The NurseLEAD project, a leadership course for advanced practice in public health nursing, will also be launched at this online event. NurseLEAD, a 3-year project, is a certificate course that aims to “help improve the quality of care through a competent frontline health workforce, contributing to strengthening primary and community-based health systems”. This is made possible in partnership with the Johnson & Johnson Foundation.
Reactors for the webinar will be: Mary Ruth Sanchez-Politico, Chief of the Planning and Standards Division of the Department of Health-Health Human Resource and Development Bureau; Elnora Duque of the Nurses’ Initiatives for Change; and, Melbert Reyes, President of the Philippine Nurses Association.
