BARNACLÍNIC+ SABÀTICS SCHOLARSHIPS AND INTENSIFICATIONS
During the event, as is also usual, the projects awarded scholarships by the Sabàtics barnaclínic+, Premios Talentos La Pedrera and Intensificacións Clínic were presented. This is an initiative of the Nursing Directorate of the Hospital Clínic of Barcelona, which aims to improve the care activity of the centre through the training of professionals and the promotion of nursing research, which was launched in 2016. Dr Adela Zabalegui, deputy director of Research and Teaching of the Nursing Directorate, was in charge of moderating the presentation of the scholarship projects.
On this occasion, six projects were awarded a Sabàtic barnaclínic+ scholarship:

AWARDS FOR THE BEST NURSING CONTROLS
Finally, awards have also been given to the best nursing controls implementing 5S, a process of Japanese origin that ensures that work areas are systematically clean, orderly and organised with the motto “a place for everything and everything in its place”. The winners were, with first prize the Neonatology Unit, with second prize Adult Psychiatry, and with third prize the nursing control of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Gemma Martínez, attached to the Directorate of Strategy and Planning for the Healthcare Field, was in charge of carrying out the closing of the event, thanking all the professionals of the Nursing Directorate for their daily work.
Furthermore, to celebrate this day with patients and users, among other gestures, a card was distributed on food trays on Sunday, May 12, encouraging people to thank the professionals for their efforts and commitment. Finally, like every year, a small gift has been distributed to the professionals.
EXHIBITION “THE #CLINIC NURSING, AN ESSENTIAL GROUP”
Through the images we wanted to show the daily work of the Clínic nurses, valuing the work of the group, their commitment and effort. It is a compilation of images by Francisco Avia, the hospital’s photographer, that shows the day-to-day life of this vocational profession, focused on treating patients, but also on teaching, research and nursing management. The exhibition is located in the hallway on the 1st floor—even stairs, and can be seen until May 31st.
