KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 28 (Bernama) -- The Nursing Residency Program at Jeddah's King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSH&RC) received the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) accreditation, achieving an honour status, at the 10th International Nursing Conference held on Nov 27.
According to KFSH&RC in a statement, the accreditation distinguishes the hospital as the first and only healthcare institution outside the United States (US) to be recognised with this level of excellence by the ANCC.
The goal of the accredited Nursing Residency Program is to provide recent nursing graduates with essential knowledge and hands-on experience which is designed to ensure that they are well-prepared to deliver top-tier patient care, upholding the highest standards of healthcare excellence.
KFSH&RC has been inducted into the esteemed 'Sigma Theta Tau' International Honor Society of Nursing. This membership, a first for any non-academic healthcare institution outside the US, underscores the hospital's role as a frontrunner in nursing practices, not just in the Middle East but on the global stage.
With this membership, KFSH&RC staff gain access to an extensive collection of scientific resources and world-class nursing practices from leading healthcare institutions globally, which is pivotal for elevating the standard of nursing care, advancing healthcare outcomes, and enhancing the overall patient experience.
Moreover, the membership allows the hospital to share its expertise and practices accumulated over four decades in the fields of nursing and healthcare with more than 600 healthcare institutions and a network of over 100,000 members worldwide.
Organised by KFSH&RC, the conference aims to create a unified platform for healthcare professionals to share insights and experiences as well as focuses on transforming healthcare delivery, advancing the nursing profession, and strengthening the hospital's stature as a global leader in nursing practices.
Marking its first edition post the COVID-19 pandemic era, this year's conference themed 'Nurses: As Catalysts, Navigators & Innovators in Healthcare', spanning three days, features a lineup of 14 keynote sessions, 40 concurrent sessions, 10 in-depth workshops, and 55 simultaneous presentations.
KFSH&RC stands out globally for its specialised healthcare and advanced nursing services. Notably, it has been awarded the prestigious Magnet accreditation for the third time in a row, a testament to its excellence in nursing.
