Welcome to the 2010 Colloquium Website!
On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the Joanna Briggs Colloquium, I would like to invite you to the 7th Biennial Joanna Briggs Colloquium, Knowledge in Action: The Next Generation of Evidence-Based Practice, proudly hosted by the Indiana Center for Evidence Based Nursing Practice in the School of Nursing Purdue University Calumet in Indiana, USA.
Contemporary healthcare services are complex, inimitable and unpredictable spaces that highly skilled professionals must navigate on a daily basis. The utilization of scientific knowledge in these environments has proved challenging across the world. The aim of this Colloquium is to generate discussion and debate about the role and nature of evidence in practice and strategies for using this knowledge in pragmatic ways in real settings.
The comprehensive three-day program promises to be diverse, interesting and multidisciplinary with opportunities for professionals and students from a range of backgrounds to share their experiences and network.
On behalf of the Indiana Center for Evidence Based Nursing Practice and the Joanna Briggs Institute, I would like to invite you to Chicago from the 13th to the 15th of September 2010. We look forward to seeing you there!
Director, Indiana Center for Evidence Based Nursing Practice
