Enhance your knowledge and professional confidence in Geriatric Nursing

Geriatric Nursing: Educational day for foreign nurses is a professional educational event specifically designed for foreign nurses working in Iceland. Its aim is to enhance participants’ knowledge, clinical competence, and professional confidence in caring for older adults, while strengthening their understanding of the Icelandic healthcare system and supporting their professional integration into the Icelandic healthcare environment.

The educational day will address key topics in geriatric nursing, including patients’ rights, nurses’ professional rights and responsibilities, ethical practice, the Icelandic welfare system, with particular emphasis on the rights, services, and support available to older adults, and cultural competence in healthcare. Special emphasis will also be given to delirium, depression, and dementia, focusing on clinical assessment, distinguishing between these conditions, and the nurse’s role in monitoring and providing appropriate care.

The educational day provides a platform for professional education, knowledge sharing, and the exchange of experiences. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss challenges and good practices in geriatric nursing, build professional connections with other foreign nurses in Iceland, and deepen their understanding of the Icelandic healthcare system.
