RESEARCH CONGRESS

Research congress and preconference merge

The name has been changed and the congress is bigger and better than ever! So many abstracts were submitted for the 17th International Nursing Research Congress and the 4th Evidence-Based Nursing Practice Preconference that it was decided to merge the two events into one. The result is a four-day conference called the 17th International Nursing Research Congress Focusing on Evidence-Based Practice, which will be held July 17-22, 2006, at the Le Sheraton Centre in Montréal, Québec, Canada.The theme for the merged event is “Advancing knowledge, community and evidence-based practice globally through collaboration.”

More than 900 original research and evidence-based nursing practice projects will be presented. Keynote speakers for the plenary sessions include Alba DiCenso, Margaret Harrison, Beth Collins Sharp, David Thompson and Doris Grinspun.

On Monday and Tuesday, July 17-18, four full-day workshops focusing on evidence-based nursing will be presented by Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), the Cochrane Qualitative Methods Group, Registered Nurse Association of Ontario (RNAO) and the Center for Advancement of Evidence-Based Practice at Arizona State University (ASU).

Register now for the workshops and congress and make plans to visit beautiful Montréal this summer. Hotel space is still available. RNL
