In an effort to improve evidenced-based practice and equip nurses in clinical settings for a pandemic scenario, Global Research Nurses (GRN) and The Global Health Network (TGHN) in collaboration with Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital is hosting a 2-day free workshop to train nurses in clinical research skills, to strengthen the clinical research and provision of evidence-based practice within their clinical settings and improve care outcomes.
