  Acibadem continues to develop nursing leadership
Since partnering with HMI in 2003, Acibadem Healthcare Group has made the development of its nursing staff a central component of a vigorous alliance focused on improving overall quality in its hospitals. In May, Acibadem welcomed HMI faculty to Istanbul for the third in a series of workshops aimed at helping the network’s nurses develop their leadership capabilities. The partnership continues to address the specific challenges facing the staff at Acibadem, as well as common issues affecting the nursing profession across the globe.  Sixty charge nurses from four Acibadem hospitals participated in the recent workshop series.
