Keeping safe… Professional vs personal dilemma 

The healthcare professionals whose duty is to provide quality and safe care for patients, are moving their responsibilities beyond the hospital walls to organise a virtual event, keeping safe – Professional vs Personal dilemma. COVID-19 vaccination conversation with BME Nurses and Midwives will hold on Friday 5th March 2021 at 7.00pm. Registration is via Eventbrite.

BAME nurses and midwives, including those working in the care sector, have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Why is there low uptake of the vaccination amongst BAME nurses and midwives? There are many questions to be answered at this informative session.

Readers are invited to have a conversation on this issue by joining distinguished professionals and faith leaders as they explore the topical issues surrounding the pandemic.

The Association represents approximately 3,000 Nigerian nurses and intends to establish chapters nationwide.
