Nursing Practice and Patient Care
Nursing practice is where research meets the bedside. Every assessment, care plan and patient conversation shapes outcomes, safety and patient experience. As care becomes more complex, nurses need practical, proven ways to deliver safe and compassionate care.
The Nursing Practice and Patient Care session at Nursing Science 2027 brings together clinical nurses, educators and researchers to share what works in daily practice. Discussions build on evidence-based nursing and focus on care that is safe, effective and centred on the patient.

Recent Advances in Nursing Practice and Patient Care
Nursing teams are moving from task-based routines to person-centred care, where patients and families help shape the care plan. Structured handover tools, early warning scores and bedside checklists are reducing errors and helping nurses spot deterioration sooner.
Infection control remains central to safe practice, and lessons from nursing and infectious disease research continue to shape hand hygiene, isolation and device care. New roles and skills described in advances in nursing practice are also widening what nurses can do at the bedside.
Growing attention is also being paid to dignity, consent and respect in everyday care, linking practice closely with nursing ethics and patient advocacy.
