The first ever nursing symposium side event will be held during the 49^th Union World Conference on Lung Health.  This side event will hear from nurses around the world, and is free for anyone to attend.

The symposium is organised by V&VN Dutch Nurses’ Association, KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation and the Nursing and Allied Professionals Sub-Section of The Union.

The event will share experiences and best practices, with the aim of creating a network for knowledge sharing and increasing the attendance of nurses at future Union World Conferences.

The main symposium is open to everyone – you do not need to be registered for the Union World Conference to attend this session.

The final session at 18:45 will be a closed networking meeting, exclusively for nurses working within the field of TB prevention and care, and NAPS Sub-Section Members.

Please register for the symposium before 1 October

If you wish to participate in the closed networking meeting, please say so on the registration form.
