π£ WFCCN Announcement | Celebrating Our Board Member, Prof. Isabel Coetzee-Prinsloo
WFCCN proudly highlights Prof. Isabel Coetzee-Prinsloo following her inspiring inaugural lecture at the University of Pretoria, where she introduced her vision for the future of critical care through the Three Pillars of Excellence:
πΉ Quality Education
πΉ Practice Development
πΉ Knowledge Translation
Prof. Coetzee-Prinsloo underscored the vital role of critical care nursesβespecially in the post-COVID eraβand highlighted the urgent need to support and strengthen this specialised workforce. With only 6 246 critical care-trained nurses serving 64 million people in South Africa, her call for integrated education, clinical practice, and evidence-based care is more important than ever.
Her message is clear: advancing critical care requires collaboration, continual learning, and the effective translation of research into practice.
π WFCCN congratulates Prof. Coetzee-Prinsloo on her leadership and commitment to elevating critical care nursing globally.
