1. SWOT ANALYSIS ON NURSING CONFERENCE
Introduction to Medicine II Ward
It is the medicine ward of BPKIHS which is in the second floor of the building. It is divided
into Gastro and Cardio medicine block where gastroenterology and hepatic cases and cardiac
cases are admitted. The ward has total of 33 beds where 4 blocks with 28 general beds, 4semi-
general beds and 1for the cases which need isolation. Total nursing staffs are 15 including in
charge, 4 helpers and 3 health aids.
Introduction to SWOT Analysis
It is the tool that can provide prompts to the managers, clinical leads, nurses and staffs involved
in the analysis of what is effective and less effective in the clinical systems and procedures, in
the preparation for a plan of some forms (audit, assessments, quality checks).
Rationale for SWOT Analysis on Nursing Conference
Nursing conference is conducted daily and has a significant role in the care and cure of the
patient so I thought of doing SWOT analysis on this topic.
Nursing Conference (Pre and Post Conference)
Conference is a team meeting which is conducted by the nursing staff at every shift change. The
conference is the method to the discussion which university students share information about
experience clinic who think critically of the clinical practice, gives different perspective and give
the formal presentation.
Nursing conference is the method of discussion which is conducted during the change in the
shifts of the staffs so that the problems and the achievements during the shifts can be discussed.
Active participation of the staff is crucial for the conference to be held effectively.
Strength
1. Punctuality of the staffs.
2. Patients’ information is known (admission, discharge, LAMA, expired, Investigations,
etc.)

2. 3. Information about working/ non-working instruments is known.
4. Active participation of the staff.
5. Good interpersonal relation maintained among staffs.
Weakness
1. No detailed information is shared.
2. The role of in charge is minimal
3. The crucial information about patient is missed sometimes.
Opportunity
1. Competency will be developed among staffs.
2. Patient will get the proper treatment.
3. Standard care will be provided to the patient which will automatically benefits the
organization.
Threat
1. Miscommunication/mistake in carrying information will harm the patient.
2. Lack of standardization will deteriorate the quality of the staffs.
IMPRESSION
During five weeks of the Nursing Concept ,Principles and Practices practicum in the Medicine II
ward, we got to observe the nursing conference where I found the timely conduction and
involvement of all the staffs as the positive point whereas no detail uptodate sharing of the
patient information was the weakness of the conference.
