On Friday, January 19, 2024, part of our team took part in the 15th Marija Tomšič Days Congress, organized by the Novo mesto Association of Nurses, Midwives and Health Technicians and the Novo mesto Faculty of Health Sciences. The congress is an introduction to the commemoration of the 130th anniversary of the Novo mesto General Hospital. The theme of this year's meeting "Back to the Basics of Nursing" was focused on the basics of nursing and stems from the challenges that our patients and our future colleagues point out to us.
