III EUROPEAN FESTIVAL OF PSYCHIATRIC NURSING

Theme: Creativity in Care
Date: Thursday 6th - Sunday 9th November 2014
Venue: Intercontinental Hotel, MALTA
Info: horatiofestival2014@gmail.com

​

Horatio is proud to announce its forthcoming 3rd Festival. The theme of this event encompasses all those things that make Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing special. Creativity is not just about the artistry associated with different forms of therapy, but, much more than this, it is about ‘thinking outside the box’, critical decision making, developing individualised care pathways with patients, insightful problem solving and sometimes lateral thinking.

In short, creativity in PMHN is what gives nurses the opportunity to express themselves, through their work, their passion and their relationships with their patients. It is what makes it possible for nurses to work effectively as equal partners within a multi-disciplinary team.

The event will celebrate these, and many other, aspects of what it means to be a PMHN, with a scientific conference at its core surrounded by a wide variety of cultural, artistic and social events.  The concept of a festival has become something of a trademark for Horatio and the 3rd one will build on our experiences in both Malta and Stockholm to create an environment where senses as well as ideas are inspired.

Horatio invites you to join us on the wonderful Mediterranean island of Malta, either as a presenter or a delegate. Meet with colleagues from around the world to share skills and expertise that develop your ‘Creativity in Care’
