Sanofi-Aventis seeks entries for Care Challenge initiative

Sanofi-Aventis is calling for entries to the Care Challenge, the first part of its international Connecting Nurses campaign.

The challenge is a contest funded by the Paris-based healthcare company that aims to provide a platform for the sharing of innovative ideas among nurses and policymakers.

Participants can suggest ideas for improving care standards using the dedicated Care Challenge website, with other nurses encouraged to join the conversation and vote for their favourites.

According to Sanofi-Aventis, a total of 20 awards will be available for the best ideas.

The programme is open to all licensed nurses working in the UK, Ireland, France, Canada, US and North Africa.

Connecting Nurses has been developed by Sanofi in collaboration with a number of professional bodies, including the International Council of Nurses and the Nurse Practitioner Healthcare Foundation.

It is designed to provide a network for sharing knowledge and resources across the global nursing profession.
