Many delegates commented that it was one of the friendliest conferences they had attended. An inspiring presentation on leadership in nursing by Dr Peter Carter, General Secretary of the Royal College of Nursing UK was the first of many outstanding presentations. Dr Deva-Marie Beck from the Nightingale Initiative for Global Health reminded delegates of the wonderful legacy left us by Florence Nightingale and how we can take that legacy forward. Dr Neil Pakenham-Walsh from Health Information for All by 2015 discussed meeting the information needs of nurses. Dr Marla Salmon from the University of Washington closed the conference with a beautiful and gentle reminder of how we can leave a positive leadership legacy for a generation of nurses to follow.
