The theme of the conference &#8211; hosted by the Commonwealth Nurses and Midwives Federation (CNMF) &#8211; leveraged the global temperament of celebration evoked by the World Health Organization (WHO)-designated International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife. Spirits were high as many attendees were also saluting Ghana\u2019s national Independence Day (March 6), International Women\u2019s Day (March 8), and Commonwealth Day (March 9). The conference organizers compiled a program of noted speakers and leaders to focus on how our professions are \u2018breaking down barriers and leaving no one behind\u2019 while striving for realization of universal health coverage (UHC) and the United Nations (UN) 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. Health visitors and community-based nurses from the Bahamas and Pakistan rubbed elbows with chief nurses and executives from Belfast, South Africa, and New Zealand while discussing how to address the social determinants of health and achieve health equity for populations worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>The CNMF was established in 1973, uniting national nursing and midwifery associations in Commonwealth countries. The Commonwealth of Nations (also known as \u201cthe Commonwealth\u201d) is comprised of 54 countries from across the globe. Per the CNMF\u2019s current 2018 Constitution, the organizations seek to influence health policy across the Commonwealth; develop networks; enhance education; improve standards and competence; and strengthen leadership for nursing and midwifery.<\/p>\n<p>The sixth Commonwealth Secretary-General, the Right Honorable Patricia Scotland, Queen\u2019s Counsel, opened the conference. Baroness Scotland encouraged attendees to reflect on \u201cthe almost\u2026\u00a0 intolerable strain on what seems to be already overstretched health systems\u201d and to draw international recognition to \u201cthe truly vital place of nurses and midwives in the healthcare delivery system and to raise an alert as to the global shortage of [these professionals].\u201d\u00a0 One of her key points reflected a commitment to action that advances the pursuit of UHC and the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). She encouraged stakeholders across sectors to go \u201cbeyond issuing statements and move toward mobilizing practical support.\u201d Baroness Scotland\u2019s words were strengthened by her profound historical understanding of nursing\u2019s disciplinary lineage, as she recognized the sheer courage of Mary Seacole, the innovation of Florence Nightingale, and how today\u2019s workforce represents these ideals in the modern era.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1918\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/ebn\/files\/2020\/04\/Elizabeth-Iro-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"259\" height=\"330\" \/>A video-recorded message from WHO Chief Nursing Officer, Elizabeth Iro, followed and praised nurses\u2019 and midwives\u2019 frontline response to the growing Covid-19 outbreak and international emergency and disaster management. Little did Iro know that conference participants were already doing their best to mitigate infection transmission, replacing handshaking and embracing colleagues with elbow bumps and head nods. Following Iro\u2019s message, the International Council of Nurses Chief Executive Officer, Howard Catton took the stage. Catton seconded the courage of nurses working across nations who are \u201crunning toward the needs\u201d of populations, confronting imminent dangers such as the recent Australian bush fires and the bombings in Sri Lanka. Furthermore, his enthusiasm in discussing the inaugural WHO <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications-detail\/nursing-report-2020\"><em>State of the World\u2019s Nursing Report <\/em><\/a>was inspiring. The report, released April 7, 2020, provides a solid evidence base to drive investment in the nursing and midwifery workforce, support UHC and SDG attainment, and provide technical data describing gender, regulatory, practice, leadership, and a host of other nursing issues on a global scale. The next <em>State of the World\u2019s Midwifery Report<\/em> will be released in 2021 and will update the evidence used in the previous 2014 report.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1919\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/ebn\/files\/2020\/04\/Nigel-Crisp-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"334\" height=\"244\" \/>Conference participants were naturally and enthusiastically engaged by the time Lord Nigel Crisp, Co-Chair of both Nursing Now and the UK All-Party Parliamentary Group on Global Health, stood to address the audience. Lord Crisp emphasized the aim of the Nursing Now campaign to improve health globally by raising the profile and status of nursing worldwide. In actuality, it is a multidisciplinary aim. The advancement of nursing results in the improvement of the entire health team and, therefore, the enhancement of the healthcare delivery system as a whole. He pointed out the pathway for achieving UHC, including an increased number of nurse-led clinics, more specialist nurses, developing midwifery services, ensuring primary healthcare access, and emphasizing nurse leadership in health promotion and disease prevention models. Of note, Lord Crisp called for thinking globally and acting locally when he said \u201cglobal stuff is global stuff but impact comes in countries\u201d through policy change, education and employment investments, increased nurse leadership and influence, and improved recruitment and retention.<\/p>\n<p>Conference goers reviewed poster presentations and attended breakout sessions on global health partnerships between Grenada and the UK; the emergency management of road traffic accident injuries in Rwanda; disruptive interventions for drug abuse challenges in Kenya; and improving mental health literacy in rural India. The palliative care field was well-represented with reports on caring for family members of those effected by traumatic brain injury (Cyprus), increased access to services through nurse prescribing (Uganda), and nonpharmacological pain management approaches (Sweden). Experts from the American Nurses Credentialing Center discussed how to optimize professional development to achieve organizational goals. Meanwhile, Franklin Shaffer, President and Chief Executive Officer of CGFNS International, addressed efforts to ensure comparable accreditation standards for internationally educated midwives during this time of increased healthcare worker migration.<\/p>\n<p>Deva-Marie Beck, founder and international co-director of the Nightingale Initiative for Global Health, addressed the main hall to deliver the closing keynote address &#8211; \u201cCelebrating Our Heritage &amp; History: Committing to Our Now &amp; Our Future.\u201d As a recognized Nightingale scholar in her own right, Beck premiered a self-compiled short film, <em>In Florence Nightingale\u2019s Own Words. <\/em>As a\u00a0\u00a0recording of \u00a0Rimsky-Korsakov\u2019s \u2018Scheherazade\u2019 played, highlights of Nightingale\u2019s writings faded in and out against a backdrop of emotionally stirring images of the environment and people from varied ages, genders, socioeconomic statuses, cultures, races, and ethnicities. An 1876 Nightingale quote, in particular, resonated when considered alongside the dire needs of humanity and the planet during this very fragile and uncertain time. Nightingale wrote, <em>\u201cTo love \u2013 to help one another, to strive together, to act together, to work to the same end\u2026\u201d<\/em> \u2013 isn\u2019t this what is needed most today as we prioritize social justice, health equity, and adaptation and mitigation practices amid the climate crisis. Such an idea needs concrete pathways and pragmatic translation to practice NOW. This is the message that resonated at the CNMF Conference and was echoed by Deva-Marie Beck in the final presentation of the second day, who reminded us that, \u201cWe are global citizens living in a global village.\u201d We are, indeed, in this together and we need now, more than ever, to commit to informed action that tends to the social and environmental determinants of health in order to achieve health equity.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the conference, Lord Crisp shared that what he charges policy makers to do is to, \u201cLook at nurses \u2013 look at nurses again\u2026 they have all the care and compassion of the past but different education [today] that gives them opportunities for greater roles and influence.\u201d Perhaps, that reflection is a step we all must take during this celebratory 2020 Year of the Nurse and the Midwife\u2026 to look at ourselves again and again, and strategically take the steps needed to become the change makers, advocates, leaders, and policy shapers we were always meant to be.<\/p>\n<p>This self-reflective task is not just an option; it is a must.<!--TrendMD v2.4.8--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Billy Rosa, University of Pennsylvania &amp; Dr Catherine Hannaway, Global Health Consultant, Catherine Hannway Associates Ltd.
