24th Annual NICU Leadership Forum is organized by Synova Associates LLC and will be held from Sep 15 - 18, 2020 at Naples Grande Beach Resort, Naples, Florida, United States of America. Accreditation: The NICU Leadership Forum is approved for approximately 18 contact hours through Abbott Nutrition Health Institute. The pre-conferences will be awarded contact hours depending on the length of the program. Course Description: Fostering a Healthy Work Environment through Synergy, Inclusion and Ethical Leadership Hospital surveys have shown that a positive work environment improves the quality and safety of patient care, reduces staff burnout and turnover, and improves patient satisfaction. Unfortunately, staff and families bring outside stressors into the NICU, incivility among staff is on the rise, and tension among racial, socio-economic and generational groups is palpable in many hospitals. Keeping staff happy, healthy and feeling valued has become a top priority for today’s leaders. For the leader, this starts by looking inward – becoming more self-aware, understanding internal biases, and looking at how one’s values impact the workplace. Next, the leadership team needs to create a stable atmosphere that will help staff feel empowered, energized, and able to keep their mental and physical well-being in check. This includes encouraging empathy and caring, championing inclusiveness, and communicating openly. And lastly the entire team has to support each other to grow personally and professionally in order to deliver optimal care to patients and their families. At the 2020 NICU Leadership Forum, we will explore these topics (and more!) and learn from the collective experiences of neonatal leaders by giving you tangible strategies for success. You’ll be immersed in an energetic, thought-provoking and rejuvenating conference experience suited to both new and seasoned leaders. At the 2020 NICU Leadership Forum, you can expect: • Leadership experts who map out clear strategies for success • Numerous opportunities to network, meet and exchange ideas • Small group time to share best practices and challenges • Access to innovative ideas, products and services • Therapeutic environment at a 5-star resort Pre-Conferences: Sunday, April 19th New Leader Bootcamp (full day) Description: This preconference is aimed at leaders with less than 3 years of leadership experience.
