As part of an operational visit, the Registrar of the Council, Mr. Felix Nyante and some Senior Staff of the Council held separate Staff and Student durbars to discuss issues relating to the regulation of nursing and midwifery training and practice.

Mr. Nyante and his team first visited the Nursing and Midwifery Training College and the district hospital in Gushegu. The team later visited the College of Health Sciences and the district hospital in Yendi.

He used the opportunity to sensitize them on the digitization of the Patient and Family Care Study which will commence this year with the Registered Mental Health Nursing candidates.

He also encouraged them to abide by the principles of clinical and academic leadership.

Staff who accompanied the Registrar also took turns to speak on issues such as Therapeutic communication in nursing and midwifery care, introduction to the NMC Mobile, Continuing Professional Development programmes, indexing process and professional competencies of nursing and midwifery practitioners.

He was then accompanied by the Principal of the School to pay a courtesy call on the Gushegu-Na where he appealed to the Chief to provide land title documentation for the school to secure their land and prevent encroachers from developing structures on the school’s land.

At Yendi, the Registrar and his team together with the Principal and some Tutors of the College of Health Sciences paid a courtesy call on the Overlord of Dagbon, Yaa-Naa Abubakari Mahama II at his palace
