José de Mello Saúde

Jose de Mello Saúde is the largest private healthcare system in Portugal, including public-private partnerships. We have also a training department, CUF Academic and Research Medical Center that promotes differentiated training in partnership with colleges. The mission of about 1600 nurses, is to provide nursing care to help conserve life, alleviate suffering and promote health through the permanent pursuit of excellence in professional practice, supported by a evidence-based practice in a sustainable manner. Through a 150-hour program, we want to include in the Nightingale Challenge 20 nurses. In this program we will highlight themes based on Clinical Leadership, Communication, Innovation and Technology and Health and Well-being as we consider them the key health challenges for tomorrow’s leaders.
