Nurses' Week, which will be observed from Sunday, July 15 to Saturday, July 21, will be held under the theme 'Positive Practice Environments: Quality Work-places = Quality Patient Care'.

President of the NAJ, Edith Allwood-Anderson, says that the week will equip nurses with additional skills to promote health and alleviate suffering in Jamaica.

Events slated for the week include a nurses summer school, a prayer breakfast and will culminate in the Nurse of the Year awards ceremony on July 21 at the Knutsford Court Hotel, New Kingston.
