Overview

The Biennial International Neuman Systems Model Symposium will be organized in Utrecht, The Netherlands on June 16, 2017.  The location for the symposium will be located at Hogeschool Domstad.  The Neuman Systems Model is especially suited to foster multi-professional and inter-disciplinary collaboration which is necessary for the global need to design person-centered, integrated care.  The model provides a well-founded method to increase the ability to cope with adverse events in life and combines prevention theory with system orientation.  This creates shared values, a shared language and shared goals across disciplines and cultures.  This symposium is a wonderful opportunity to meet participants from different countries and professionals from practice, education, research, and policy.  Discussion and interactive workshops give shape to the central theme of this symposium: Connecting minds, spirits, and cultures.

Purposes

  1. Provide educational opportunities to advance nursing knowledge utilizing the principles and practices of the Neuman Systems Model.
  2. Provide educational information, consultation, and networking within and among nursing and members of the multi-disciplinary healthcare team.
  3. Provide awards for Neuman Systems Model-based research, theory development, and education relating to the nursing profession.
