Nursing symposium at the FHV focuses on resilience
28.04.2026The demands of the nursing profession are constantly increasing: time pressure, staff shortages and emotional stress have long been part of everyday life for many nursing professionals. With this year's nursing symposium entitled "Resilience in nursing - inner strength for external challenges", the FHV is creating a space to discover new sources of strength and develop concrete strategies for dealing with these challenges.
Inspiring keynote speech by Patrick Konzett
A special highlight awaits participants with the keynote speech "Resilience without bullshit" by Patrick Konzett. The speaker from Vorarlberg stands for clear words, authenticity and practical impulses. With his direct manner, he succeeds in making the topic of resilience tangible and providing food for thought that will have an impact beyond the day of the event.
Practical, interactive and empowering
The participants themselves are at the heart of the symposium: They choose two formats in a total of nine workshops. The diverse offerings range from aroma care, sound and music therapy to creative approaches such as poetry slam. Registration for the workshops is required.
Resilience as a key skill
"Experienced experts not only impart knowledge, but also invite you to try out new methods directly and integrate them into your own everyday care routine. Dealing with resilience is more important today than ever before. Carers are required to remain capable of acting and healthy even under challenging conditions. The symposium addresses these developments and shows practical ways to promote long-term stability and well-being," invites Diana Brodda, Head of the Department of Social Work and Health and Head of the Health Care and Nursing competence field at the FHV. Another item on the program is dedicated to the topic of "Second Victim" and highlights the psychological effects of stressful events in everyday working life. An aspect that often receives too little attention. Invitation to a change of perspective The Nursing Symposium at the FHV sees itself as a platform for exchange, inspiration and personal development. It is aimed specifically at nursing professionals and people in training who want to strengthen their own resilience and gain new perspectives for their everyday working life.
