Whether there is any causal relationship is a matter of debate, but nonetheless the two are associated. This is evidenced not only by such things as improved payment, payment beings a reflection of society's value of a profession or trade, but also by greater collegiality and interaction between nurses and other health professionals such as doctors, physiotherapists etc. As socio-economic pressures achieve greater intensity and complexity, knowledge increases, the demands placed on health professionals and nurses increase, and the many roles and relationship increase in number and complexity for the nurse and other medical personnel. Today, health services across the world are having to find significant new ways of organizing and coordinating. In the future we will need to move away from talking of coordinating to making it become a reality.
Unnecessary duplication has to be recognized and done away with.
Conflict has to be minimized so that the sick and vulnerable conserve their precious energy for getting well, for staying healthy, or for dying decently. These gaps in caring and curing have to be brought to light. And for high-quality health results at reasonable cost, nursing and medical services have to be modified so as to facilitate the procedures and performance of each. I would like to conclude my humble efforts by throwing some light on the challenges that the Department of Nursing is likely to face in the coming few years 1. Attempting to attract more nationals to the nursing profession.
