Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Annual International Nursing Research Conference 2017 5th – 7th April 2017, Oxford

Jane Wray

This three day international research event featured a mix of keynote speakers, concurrent sessions, posters and symposia and was attended by an audience of delegates from all over the world. This years’ keynotes were very much focused on research impacting upon policy and day 2 culminated in a performance by BRIGHTLIGHT Theatre Company of ‘There is a light’ on young people’s perspectives on specialist cancer care.

Quite an act to follow! I did however present my PhD findings on “Newly qualified nurses’ (NQN) perceptions of culturally competent nursing practice (CCNP)” on the Friday lunchtime to a group of nurse researchers and academics. A big thank you to all who attended and asked interesting questions of my work and provided some useful feedback for my PhD viva.
