NURSING WEEK GUEST PRESENTATION AT BGH
 

Dr. Jennifer Medves (left), Associate Dean for the Faculty of Health Science and Director of the School of Nursing at Queen’s University, spoke to the nursing staff at Brockville General Hospital Thursday, May 13. Dr. Medves’ presentation “Utilization of Evidence into Nursing Practice” was one of the many activities planned to celebrate National Nursing Week at BGH.

Dr. Medves works with committees at the local, provincial and federal levels whose mandate is to examine maternity practice and sustain health care for women at a time when there are looming health human resource shortages, and with colleagues across health sciences on integrating inter-professional education and practice.

The presentation was accompanied by a pizza lunch enjoyed by all, courtesy of Interim VP Clinical Services and Chief Nursing Executive Marnie Dahl (right).

“Dr. Medves’ presentation was received with interest and enthusiasm by BGH nurses,” says Dahl. “Her ability to demonstrate the value of using evidence in daily nursing and to demystify nursing research left her audience eager to invite Dr. Medves back to Brockville in the near future.”
