The International Nursing Forum

Since 1999, OUNHS has held an annual international nursing forum for the nursing professionals, nursing administrators, nursing students and general populace of Oita Prefecture, Kyushu and western Japan.

Leading world authorities speak on timely and relevant themes and introduce the latest advanced knowledge, practical applications and theoretical issues.

Our senior students also attend each forum to deepen their understanding of global nursing, health and welfare issues.
