WELCOME MESSAGE !

I’m delighted to welcome you to the University of Ottawa, host of the inaugural International Clinical Nursing Research Conference.

The Conference’s lectures, poster presentations and thematic workshops will provide all of us with the opportunity to not only exchange insights on clinical nursing care, but also explore how new knowledge generated through research can tie into nursing practice.

We will address both the political and organizational aspects of care while emphasizing the need to educate and inform clients and health care professionals. In addition, the interaction between practitioners and researchers will create a catalyst for the application of knowledge in clinical settings—a vital process in the delivery of quality care to individuals, groups and entire populations.

So, I hope that your exchanges and discussions at the Conference will prove productive and that you’ll enjoy your experience here at the University of Ottawa.

Jocelyne Tourigny,  PhD, 
Full Professor, School of Nursing
