Every person will come into contact with nurses, nurse practitioners...
and health care assistents throughout their lives.
They are the crucial link between prevention, care and welfare.
But… innovations, an aging population, an increase in chronic illnesses, staff shortages...
and a higher workload demand a different and smarter work approach.
Therefore ZonMw invests in the development and implementation of knowledge.
We also invest in collaboration by and for nursing professionals,
aimed at further strenghtening their body of knowledge.
We support strengthening the body of knowledge by financing projects that develop,
test and put knowledge into practice.
By financing research, we also want to gain better insight into how nursing and care...
can be organized in the best way possible.
We connect projects so that we generate collective, generic, insights.
Collaboration is essential when it comes to developing and implementing knowledge efficiently,
and identifying what specific knowledge is needed.
It’s important to start a project by thinking who the knowledge is developed for...
and what the best way to reach them is.
This is what we ask of project managers, and what we do ourselves too.
To achieve this, we maintain close contact with relevant parties both within and outside of nursing and care.
We also encourage and support the sharing of developments and results.
By, for example, organizing networking meetings, encouraging project stakeholders to share their results ...
and experiences at conferences, in magazines and other publications,
and through ZonMw's communication channels.
Only together can we contribute to the best possible quality of life for everyone.
