The maturation of the Dutch Nurse Practitioners

The way nurse practitioners are implemented in the Netherlands is remarkable. It was a more or less individual initiative with support of the government but without the professional nursing organization. It appeared to be a success story, although with hindrances. Now there is an opportunity for them to profile themselves as the first point of care. The so-called medical model is responsible for an enormous progress in medical technologies. However, the demand for care is changing. Not for every problem is the only solution a medical one. People ask for shared decision making and a more holistic approach is needed. That’s why Advanced Practice Nurses with their broad scope in cure and care are challenged to play an important role in the Dutch healthcare. There is a need for a paradigm shift to a bio psychosocial model with shared decision making and taken into the account of the wishes of the patients, personal and environmental factors. To accomplish this, it is important to have a clear unambiguously vision al a professional group of your scope and standards. Meet each other in networks for discussion to profile the role of the nurse practitioners strongly in our society.

The workshops/network meetings are thoughtfully facilitated by V&VN VS, the Dutch association for Nurse Practitioners and will cover the following themes:

– Elderly care (Nursing home and Geriatrics)
– First line
– Mental healthcare
– Neonatology
– Oncology

Meet with colleagues from all over the world to exchange knowledge, experiences, views and ideas and to create valuable and lasting contacts.

Dutch Innovation Plaza
During the conference the newest e-health technologies will be presented at the Dutch Innovation Plaza.

The Plaza is definitely worth a visit: discover the newest measuring equipment, care robots and other innovative technologies and see how this may help you at your job as a Nurse Practitioner. Join the e-health quiz, view demonstrations and much more. The Plaza will be open from Monday-Wednesday and will present different inventions daily. Access to the Dutch Innovation Plaza is free for all conference delegates.

The Dutch Innovation Plaza is supported by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport and will be opened by the Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport, Deputy Prime Minister Hugo de Jonge.
