Workshop for Nursing Students
“With the prevalence of chronic killer diseases like cancer and large number of bed-ridden people, there is greater need for palliative care now than ever before,” said Trivandrum Mayor K. Chandrika while inaugurating a one-day workshop for nursing students on 24th May, 2015 at Trivandrum. The workshop was organized by Pallium India in connection with International Nurses Day. Pallium India trustee, Dr C. Mohanan, also spoke on the occasion.
Every year, May 12 is observed as International Nurses Day to remember the role of nurses in the society, and to appreciate their commitment and devotion towards the well-being of patients. The theme of this year’s International Nurses Day was “A Force for Change: Care Effective, Cost Effective”.
Introduction to palliative care, communication, the role of nurses in palliative care field and challenges were some of the topics discussed in the workshop. Similar workshops have been planned in every district in Kerala over the coming months.
