,A Welcome Message from the Head of the Department of Nursing
Welcome to the site of the Department of Nursing, University of Peloponnese. These
pages were created in order to provide guests and in particular, current and
prospective students with useful information about the educational and research
activities of the Department.
The Department of Nursing, University of Peloponnese is a major academic unit for
the production of new knowledge through research and the teaching of nursing
science in order to prepare nursing scientists to undergo as comprehensive as
possible scientific training – combining both theory and practice – so they can work
successfully with psychosocial competence and responsibility as future health
professionals.
The Department of Nursing, University of Peloponnese makes every effort to serve in
the most excellent way the scientific, social, cultural and economic demands of our
times.
We serve a vision of quality of life and promoting health with the belief that the deep
knowledge of nursing science, among other things, interweaving theory and practice,
knowledge and skills along with an immediate decision- making process combined
with the information and awareness of current developments in science and health
concerns about health policies globally achieve our aims.
Our high expectation is to create a rich educational and research environment with a
variety of scientific experiences and perspectives. Any extensions and innovations in
health care, flexible teaching approaches, high quality patient care and utility
services make up the components of scientific and social identity of our department.
