Manama, Aug. 18 (BNA):  The ‘Future Nurses Bahrain’ initiative participated in the Youth City 2030, aligning with national efforts to empower young Bahrainis and nurture their professional aspirations in line with the Bahrain Vision 2030.

Launched in 2018, Future Nurses Bahrain is a national initiative led by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) - Medical University of Bahrain, with the support of Lieutenant General Dr. Shaikh Mohammed Bin Abdulla Al Khalifa, Chairman of the Supreme Council of Health.

As part of this collaboration, a series of interactive workshops aims to engage and educate visitors about the nursing profession and some nursing skills.  The workshops also provide a platform for participants to explore nursing as a professional career through a hands-on learning experience.

The sessions led by the University’s Community Engagement team, more than 10 nursing alumni, with the support of five nursing students, reflect RCSI Medical University of Bahrain’s commitment to drawing on both academic expertise and real-world professional experience to inspire the next generation.

Participation in Youth City 2030 underscores Future Nurses Bahrain’s goal to address the growing demand for skilled healthcare professionals, while fostering a deeper appreciation of the nursing profession’s contribution to community health and wellbeing.

Dr. Eman Tawash, Senior Lecturer in Nursing, Deputy Head of the School of Nursing and Midwifery, and Lead of Future Nurses Bahrain, said the workshops were designed to give young Bahrainis a clear view of the nursing profession, challenge misconceptions, and remove barriers that may discourage them from entering the field.  She added that by engaging with nursing alumni, students, and staff, the initiative aims to inspire future leaders and encourage nursing as a sustainable career in the expanding healthcare sector.

Future Nurses Bahrain continues to strengthen its role as a partner in national development, working alongside Bahraini stakeholders to build a skilled, motivated, and socially responsible healthcare workforce in the Kingdom.
