Reimagining Nursing for the 21st Century: Integrating Gerontological Care, Technology & Education in a Changing World

The evolving landscape of healthcare presents complex challenges for nursing, particularly in the domains of gerontological care, technological integration, and nursing education. This poster explores how nursing practice must adapt in response to demographic shifts, increasing chronic illness, and the rapid digitalisation of healthcare delivery. Emphasising a holistic and person-centred approach, it highlights the need for nurses to deliver compassionate, evidence-based care for older adults while navigating resource constraints and evolving patient expectations. Simultaneously, the integration of digital tools—ranging from remote monitoring to AI-powered diagnostics—demands upskilling and ethical awareness. Parallel to this, nursing education must evolve to prepare future practitioners who are digitally literate, clinically competent, and adaptable in high-pressure environments. This poster synthesises emerging case studies and scoping literature reviews to propose strategic directions for reimagining gerontological nursing practice through interdisciplinary collaboration, integrative pedagogy, and technology-enabled care."<br/>
