🤝🩵 Ce mois-ci, nous célébrons le pouvoir des soins, l’un des sept pouvoirs des soins infirmiers. La capacité des infirmières à dispenser des soins de santé primaires centrés sur la personne constitue un avantage à la fois clinique et systémique. Lorsque les soins sont organisés autour de la personne dans son ensemble, les patients bénéficient d’un meilleur soutien, les ressources sont utilisées plus efficacement et la confiance dans le système de santé s’en trouve renforcée. 📖 Lisez notre rapport de la #JII2026 pour en savoir plus : bit.ly/4yI5d3H #NosinfirmièresNotreFutur | Le pouvoir d’agir des infirmières sauve des vies
