Málaga, centro de la enfermería traumatológica y ortopédica

    DIARIO ENFERMERO 
(CONSEJO GENERAL DE COLEGIOS OFICIALES DE ENFERMERIA DE ESPAÑA)
Málaga, centro de la enfermería traumatológica y ortopédica
Bajo el lema "Enfermería en C.O.T: Integrando Ciencia y Emociones", la Asociación Española de Enfermería en Traumatología y Ortopedia (AEETO) ha celebrado estos días su XIII Congreso en Málaga con más de 250 participantes llegados desde toda la geografía española para compartir conocimientos, experiencias y estar al día de los últimos avances.
La presidenta de AEETO, Elena Miguel, el presidente del Colegio de Enfermería de Málaga, Juan Antonio Astorga, y el presidente del comité científico, Diego Cantalejo, fueron los encargados de la inauguración.
En su discurso, Astorga destacó el “poder de convocatoria” de la cita con el ánimo de ser mejores profesionales, no solo en los conocimientos, sino en lo que se refiere a la “cercanía a los pacientes” y valoró ese “interés por avanzar” de los asistentes a los que animó a “apasionarse” por la práctica enfermera ahora que corren tiempos difíciles.
Por su parte, la presidenta de AEETO, quiso poner de relieve que desde la asociación trabajan durante todo el año con cursos de formación, becas para los congresos, revista especializada y ahora también cursos online: “Os invito a que expreséis y compartáis vuestra experiencias y emociones que nos sirvan a todos para enriquecernos en este Congreso”, ha dicho Elena Miguel.
El programa estuvo cargado de ponencias, mesas redondas, seminarios y ejercicios de simulación práctica como la atención politrauma en el medio acuático, que se llevó a cabo en el puerto de la ciudad malagueña.
Elena Miguel indicó que en lo que respecta a los trabajos de carácter científico presentados han sido un total de 70 pósters y 42 comunicaciones libres.
Esta iniciativa ha intentado, un año más, de congregar a los enfermeros y enfermeras de todo el país para compartir proyectos, inquietudes y conocimientos con el fin de promover la investigación y la creación de estrategias para normalizar la práctica enfermera que repercutirá en la calidad de los cuidados a los pacientes y su salud.

  • ·      Accident victims
  • ·      Patients undergoing surgical procedures
  • ·      Transplant suffering patients
  • ·      Patients with cancer


There is constant need of a regular blood supply because it can be stored only during a limited time before it’s used.
Blood is the more precious gift that a person can offer to others.  The decision to donate blood can save the life a person or several even.

Blood is fractional in:

o   Comunidad de Madrid: Avd Democracia s/n (Valdebernardo-Madrid)
  • ·      Mobile Units (donation buses)


Remember!
  1.   Donate blood is a non-profit and voluntary action;
  2.   Blood is regenerated but is not possible to manufacture;
  3.   Blood can save lives and somebody is waiting for it;

  4.   Why are you not a donor?

Spanish Traumatology and Orthopaedic Nursing Association has chosen Malaga as city to celebrate the XIII National Congress. It will take place in the Palacio de Congresos de Málaga (Avda. Ortega y Gaset, 20-29006) from 23rd to 25th April 2014.

The motto of this congress is “Traumatology and Orthopaedic Nursing: integrating science and emotions”. We want to transmit that scientific development is significant in our career but we cannot forget the key piece: The Humanization of Care, both from the patient’s point of view and from our’s (as professionals and as people). Everybody is invited to expose these emotions, feelings and personal experiences that are important to share.

I cannot forget to talk about the online course that will be parallel to this congress. The purpose of this online course is to give the opportunity to look at the different topics to people who could not attend.


Our association wants to promote Nursing Knowledge raising the Nursing Competence.
