Helen SaletteNurse, M.Sc.N., ASC, General Manager of SIDIIEFwritten in the preamble in this summary document : « Thanks to the quality of the speakers’ and presenters’ interventions, we were able to offer a major scientific and professional program. By sharing and discussing their daily practice, nurses have been able to see that, wherever they are in the world, they possess and use unique knowledge that makes a difference to individuals, families and communities. In all countries, whatever the prevailing economic reality, the spirit of initiative of nurses is tangible. The nursing profession, despite the pandemic, remains driven by the same desire to ensure quality care in all health systems. This event, while it has fueled our collective reflection and is already fueling possible solutions for the coming years, has also made it possible to forge links united by professional solidarity and to stimulate collaborative projects. To ensure that ideas and knowledge continue to circulate within the Francophone nursing community, we are proud to offer you this book, summarizing the highlights of the conference. I am convinced that this publication will serve as a reference document in your professional reality.« .
