Special Issue “International Conference of Spirituality in Healthcare. Nurturing the Spirit”—Trinity College Dublin 2016
Journal Title: Religions - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 10
Abstract
This is an editorial of a Special Issue regarding the International Conference of Spirituality in Healthcare held in the School of Nursing and Midwifery, Trinity College Dublin, Republic of Ireland (ROI), on June 2016 (Spirituality Research and Innovation Group 2016). This event was the second international spirituality in healthcare conference hosted by Trinity College Dublin, with a third international conference planned for 22 June 2018. Conferences such as this provide a unique opportunity for academics and clinicians in healthcare to share their research findings, clinical practice and emerging ideas. The conference is international and multidisciplinary and as such provides a novel space and platform for discussion and debate on the topic. The editorial draws together a selection of published papers, arising from the conference; collectively these demonstrate a continuing and growing interest in the subject of spiritualty in healthcare.
