On Tuesday 27 February, Nursing Now will hold launch events and activities across the world.
One of our launch events will take place in London. Run in parallel with an event in Geneva, highlights from both sessions will be livestreamed on our launch page from 13:00 GMT, which features full details of both events.
We are delighted that HRH The Duchess of Cambridge will join us at our London event.
We will be hosting two speaker sessions in London, livestreaming a discussion in Geneva in between. Biographies for all of our speakers in London can be downloaded here.
