Scientific Sessions

This session focuses on the expanding role of Advanced Nursing Practice (ANP) in modern healthcare systems. It highlights how advanced practice nurses—such as Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Nurse Anesthetists, and Nurse Midwives—drive clinical excellence, leadership, and innovation across diverse care settings. Participants will explore advanced clinical assessment skills, evidence-based decision-making, autonomous practice standards, and the integration of cutting-edge technologies in patient care. The session will also address current challenges and opportunities in ANP, including scope-of-practice evolution, interprofessional collaboration, policy impacts, and the role of advanced nurses in improving patient outcomes and system efficiency. Through case examples and real-world applications, attendees will gain insights into how advanced nursing leaders can shape the future of healthcare delivery, enhance quality and safety, and respond effectively to global health demands.
