Dear Esteemed Nursing Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 3rd Mediclinic Middle East International Nursing and Midwifery Specialty Conference 2026, a gathering that brings together passionate professionals, innovators, and advocates from around the world, in the UAE.
This year, we unite under the inspiring theme: "Patient and Family-Centered Care in a Digital-Driven World."
As healthcare continues its rapid digital evolution, nurses stand at the forefront—bridging advanced technologies with the human touch that defines our profession. This conference is an opportunity to explore and share how digital tools can deepen, rather than diminish, our connection to patients and families. Together, we will listen and engage in strategies that ensure compassion, empathy, and partnership remain central in an increasingly technology-enabled environment.
Our scientific program highlights six key subtopics that speak to the most pressing opportunities and challenges in modern nursing practice. Throughout this conference, you will have opportunities to share your research, exchange best practices, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and collaborate with peers who are shaping the future of our profession. I look forward to the rich dialogue and collective learning, that will emerge from the presentations, and to be inspired by each of the delegates.
Thank you for your commitment to advancing nursing practice and improving the lives of patients and families in our communities.
