Hamilton, Feb 28 (Prensa Latina) More than two dozen nursing professionals from the Caribbean region are in Bermuda this week to participate in the 46th Joint Meeting of the Executive and Education Committees and the 15th meeting of the Practice Committee for the Regional Nursing Body.

This joint meeting of Caribbean Community [CARICOM] countries will focus on the Regional Strategic Framework for Nursing and Midwifery, Standardization and Regulation and many more topics vital to nursing and the health sector.

The Bermuda Department of Health is working with the Bermuda Tourism Authority and Bermuda Nursing Council and other nursing affiliates to host the visitors, which include chief nursing officers, nursing council boards, and nursing educators.

They will conduct their meeting sessions at neighbouring Bermuda College from February 27th to March 1st.

The joint meeting of the Regional Nursing Board is the second visitor symposium this month to have been inspired by a ‘bring it home’ Bermudian.

Bermuda Chief Nursing Officer Gaynell Hayward-Caesar said: ‘The Department of Health and its nursing leaders are proud to bring this CARICOM meeting of nursing professionals to Bermuda to discuss high priority nursing and healthcare agendas.

Bermuda residents who would like to pitch the island as a meeting place for their international meetings and conferences can get started online by researching the Bermuda Tourism Authority Bring It Home Programme.
