Abstract
Advanced Practice Nursing is emerging as one of Switzerland's most promising levers to keep community care accessible and coordinated despite physician shortages, rising multimorbidity and an ageing population. While international evidence supports the contribution of Advanced Practice Nurses to access, continuity and quality of care, their integration within the Swiss healthcare system remains heterogeneous. In this context, the symposium "Advanced Practice Nursing: Building future care by integrating Advanced Practice Nursing into community settings" was held in December 2025 and organised by Unisanté and the Institute of Higher Education and Research in Healthcare (IUFRS) of Lausanne University, in partnership with Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV), the Institute of Nursing Science (Institut für Pflegewissenschaft) of the University of Basel, the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland (HES-SO), the Swiss School of Public Health (SSPH+) and the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences (SAMW/ASSM).
高级实践护理正在成为瑞士最有希望的杠杆之一,尽管医生短缺,多种疾病增加和人口老龄化,但它仍能保持社区护理的可及性和协调性。虽然国际证据支持高级执业护士的访问,连续性和护理质量的贡献,他们在瑞士医疗保健系统内的整合仍然是异质的。在此背景下,“高级护理实践:“通过将高级护理实践融入社区环境,构建未来护理”于2025年12月举行,由unisant和洛桑大学高等教育与医疗保健研究所(IUFRS)组织,与洛桑大学医院(CHUV),巴塞尔大学护理科学研究所(Institut f r Pflegewissenschaft),瑞士西部应用科学与艺术大学(hs - so)合作,瑞士公共卫生学院(SSPH)和瑞士医学科学院(SAMW/ASSM)。
