Nursing Education and Research
Strong nursing education and research are the foundation of safe, modern healthcare. Education prepares nurses for complex clinical roles, while research builds the knowledge that improves patient care and shapes health policy.
The Nursing Education and Research session at Nursing Science 2027 brings together educators, researchers and students to share new teaching methods, study findings and ways to build research capacity. It works hand in hand with evidence based nursing, turning research into practice.

Recent Advances in Nursing Education and Research
Nursing schools are rapidly adopting simulation, virtual patients and immersive learning to give students safe practice before they reach the ward. Generative tools and adaptive learning platforms, explored further in AI and emerging technologies in nursing, are also changing how students study and how educators assess them.
Curricula are expanding to include digital literacy and data skills, so new nurses can work confidently with EHRs and nursing informatics. Meanwhile, education standards and licensing requirements discussed in nursing regulation continue to shape what programmes must teach.
Who Should Attend the Nursing Education and Research Session
- Nursing faculty, deans and programme directors
- Clinical educators and preceptors
- Nurse researchers and research coordinators
- PhD, master's and undergraduate nursing students
- Simulation and learning technology specialists
- Education policy makers and accreditation bodies
