00:00:10.070 --> 00:00:14.430 position:50% align:middle
Did you see the launch of the latest World
Health Organization report?

00:00:14.430 --> 00:00:19.060 position:50% align:middle
This document is perhaps the most
important publication ever produced

00:00:19.060 --> 00:00:21.420 position:50% align:middle
in relation to the profession of nursing.

00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:25.400 position:50% align:middle
The State of the World Nursing Report is
the product of collaboration at global,

00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:27.760 position:50% align:middle
regional, and national levels.

00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.330 position:50% align:middle
Countries have worked with professional
organizations, regulators,

00:00:30.330 --> 00:00:35.560 position:50% align:middle
educators and others to capture the
information documented, analyzed,

00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:39.100 position:50% align:middle
and presented
in this important publication.

00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:44.080 position:50% align:middle
This short presentation provides some
basic information on the document that I

00:00:44.080 --> 00:00:48.630 position:50% align:middle
hope will encourage you to access
and reflect on the entire content.

00:00:48.630 --> 00:00:52.980 position:50% align:middle
The World Health Organization along with
the International Council of Nurses,

00:00:52.980 --> 00:00:57.030 position:50% align:middle
the International Confederation of
Midwives, the Nursing Now Campaign,

00:00:57.030 --> 00:01:01.650 position:50% align:middle
and a range of other individuals and
organizations have been working to prepare

00:01:01.650 --> 00:01:04.160 position:50% align:middle
two specific reports.

00:01:04.160 --> 00:01:08.800 position:50% align:middle
The first, the State of the World Nursing
Report is launched today.

00:01:08.800 --> 00:01:13.090 position:50% align:middle
The second, the third State of the World
Midwifery Report will be

00:01:13.090 --> 00:01:14.750 position:50% align:middle
launched next year.

00:01:14.750 --> 00:01:19.420 position:50% align:middle
These reports are published within the
context of the bicentennial anniversary

00:01:19.420 --> 00:01:24.100 position:50% align:middle
of Florence Nightingale's birth and the
World Health Organization designation

00:01:24.100 --> 00:01:28.120 position:50% align:middle
of 2020 as the international year
of the nurse and midwife.

00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:33.950 position:50% align:middle
Furthermore, these documents are being
published at a particular auspicious time

00:01:33.950 --> 00:01:38.800 position:50% align:middle
as we enter the last decade of progress
towards pursuit and achievement as the

00:01:38.800 --> 00:01:41.040 position:50% align:middle
sustainable development goals.

00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.160 position:50% align:middle
The State of the World Nursing Report is
available on the World Health Organization

00:01:45.160 --> 00:01:48.660 position:50% align:middle
website and consists
of three distinct resources.

00:01:48.660 --> 00:01:52.400 position:50% align:middle
First, there is a summary document that
captures the main recommendations and

00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:58.200 position:50% align:middle
provides a flavor of the data obtained to
inform this important policy document.

00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:03.650 position:50% align:middle
Second, the main report sets the scene by
focusing on how nursing can assist in the

00:02:03.650 --> 00:02:07.020 position:50% align:middle
pursuit of the Sustainable Development
Goals and the achievement

00:02:07.020 --> 00:02:09.180 position:50% align:middle
of universal health coverage.

00:02:09.180 --> 00:02:14.690 position:50% align:middle
It explores nursing's roles in the 21st
century and identifies policy levers and

00:02:14.690 --> 00:02:19.100 position:50% align:middle
clearly documents the current state of
evidence in terms of the numbers,

00:02:19.100 --> 00:02:23.410 position:50% align:middle
education, regulation,
and governance of the profession.

00:02:23.410 --> 00:02:27.350 position:50% align:middle
Having identified the opportunities
and reported the evidence,

00:02:27.350 --> 00:02:29.980 position:50% align:middle
future direction's set
and conclusions are reached.

00:02:29.980 --> 00:02:35.260 position:50% align:middle
This report provides aggregate information
at global and regional levels.

00:02:35.260 --> 00:02:40.950 position:50% align:middle
However, detailed country-specific data is
also available as a web resource.

00:02:40.950 --> 00:02:44.270 position:50% align:middle
It is important to recognize the report
captures information

00:02:44.270 --> 00:02:48.280 position:50% align:middle
on nursing professionals,
the registered nurse cohort and

00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:52.330 position:50% align:middle
nursing associates, those are often
referred to as vocational

00:02:52.330 --> 00:02:54.100 position:50% align:middle
or practical nurses.

00:02:54.100 --> 00:02:57.980 position:50% align:middle
It does not, however,
provide information on support workers

00:02:57.980 --> 00:03:00.070 position:50% align:middle
that often compliment
nursing care/delivery teams.

00:03:00.070 --> 00:03:04.450 position:50% align:middle
As mentioned earlier,
the report uses the Sustainable

00:03:04.450 --> 00:03:08.960 position:50% align:middle
Development Goals as a framework for
exploring nursing contribution.

00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:15.710 position:50% align:middle
In particular, it focuses on SDG three,
good health and well-being, SDG four,

00:03:15.710 --> 00:03:22.620 position:50% align:middle
quality education, SDG five,
gender equality and SDG eight,

00:03:22.620 --> 00:03:25.960 position:50% align:middle
decent work and economic growth.

00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:30.070 position:50% align:middle
It is, however, important to note that
whilst the focus is on these four SDGs,

00:03:30.070 --> 00:03:37.600 position:50% align:middle
nursing can contribute through action,
advocacy, or alignment with all 17 goals.

00:03:37.600 --> 00:03:41.870 position:50% align:middle
Considerable focus is given to the pursuit
of universal health coverage.

00:03:41.870 --> 00:03:46.190 position:50% align:middle
Nursing is viewed as being essential to
expanding population coverage,

00:03:46.190 --> 00:03:50.680 position:50% align:middle
enhancing financial risk protection,
and ensuring the delivery of a package

00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:52.490 position:50% align:middle
of essential services.

00:03:52.490 --> 00:03:56.980 position:50% align:middle
The pursuit of all of these elements
require a number of fundamental changes

00:03:56.980 --> 00:04:01.230 position:50% align:middle
and these are captured in the
10 recommendations in the report.

00:04:01.230 --> 00:04:04.170 position:50% align:middle
In this presentation,
there is insufficient time to explore each

00:04:04.170 --> 00:04:06.770 position:50% align:middle
of these recommendations in detail.

00:04:06.770 --> 00:04:10.160 position:50% align:middle
However, each of the 10 recommendations
can't sit within a

00:04:10.160 --> 00:04:12.480 position:50% align:middle
simple four-dimensional model.

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:16.350 position:50% align:middle
Education will be key in informing
many of the changes.

00:04:16.350 --> 00:04:20.700 position:50% align:middle
Professional practice, regulation,
and socio-economic welfare will interact

00:04:20.700 --> 00:04:24.550 position:50% align:middle
in the generation and delivery of
solutions and each of the 10

00:04:24.550 --> 00:04:28.970 position:50% align:middle
recommendations can be accommodated
easily within this framework.

00:04:28.970 --> 00:04:34.110 position:50% align:middle
It is not to say that the location of
these recommendations is dominated by any

00:04:34.110 --> 00:04:38.190 position:50% align:middle
one of these four dimensions,
but rather it's a starting point

00:04:38.190 --> 00:04:41.190 position:50% align:middle
for collaborative success.

00:04:41.190 --> 00:04:45.510 position:50% align:middle
Later this year, NCSBN will explore in
detail the regulatory implications of this

00:04:45.510 --> 00:04:48.080 position:50% align:middle
report at it's delegates assembly.

00:04:48.080 --> 00:04:52.140 position:50% align:middle
Regulation has a critical role to play in
the pursuit of the Sustainable Development

00:04:52.140 --> 00:04:55.920 position:50% align:middle
Goals and the attainment
of universal health coverage.

00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:00.128 position:50% align:middle
Nursing is by far the largest health
profession, has a major contribution

00:05:00.128 --> 00:05:04.470 position:50% align:middle
to make and needs to be central
to the policy development process.

00:05:04.470 --> 00:05:09.140 position:50% align:middle
The goal for all of us is to build upon
the evidence presented in this report and

00:05:09.140 --> 00:05:13.690 position:50% align:middle
pursue solutions that are fit not only for
today's challenges but for those

00:05:13.690 --> 00:05:14.940 position:50% align:middle
of the future.

00:05:14.940 --> 00:05:18.900 position:50% align:middle
I encourage you all to visit and access
this important publication,

00:05:18.900 --> 00:05:23.280 position:50% align:middle
and if you have any questions or comments,
please don't hesitate to contact me as I'd

00:05:23.280 --> 00:05:28.250 position:50% align:middle
be delighted to enter into dialogue that
will help advance the contribution that

00:05:28.250 --> 00:05:31.759 position:50% align:middle
the profession can and must make
in the years ahead.
