The Queen Silvia Nursing Award is a gift that Swedish Care International has prepared for Her Majesty the Queen of Sylvia for her seventieth birthday. Its aim is to enable the development and creativity of nursing students who take on professional care for the elderly and those with dementia. It is also an incentive towards dialogue and exchange of ideas on the level of medical care and geriatrics in Poland and its development opportunities. The organizers also want to show that nursing education, especially in the care of the elderly, leads to work that can be attractive and satisfying.
The Polish edition of the Queen Silvia Nursing Award is held under the honorary patronage of the Chief Nurses and Midwives Council.
