Nurses and Midwives Association of Slovenia

The Nurses and Midwives Association of Slovenia (Slovene: Zbornica - Zveza) is a Slovenian professional body representing nurses, midwives and health technicians. It operates from Ljubljana and functions both as a membership and professional-development organisation and, as described in structured data, as an academic publisher based in Slovenia. Its official website presents a broad programme of continuing education, licensing modules, professional sections and events for the nursing and midwifery workforce. The association's public activity centres on education and professional standards. Its homepage lists calls for special-knowledge programmes such as supervision in nursing and midwifery, invitations to join the editorial board of the journal Obzornik zdravstvene nege, and research on retaining young people in nursing professions in Slovenia. It also marks observances such as World Patient Safety Day and promotes the Care4Health platform, an online course on contemporary challenges in healthcare. A large part of the organisation's work is delivered through specialist sections and regional branches. The site advertises events organised by sections for haematology, nephrology, dialysis and transplantation, emergency medical services, and respiratory care, as well as by regional nursing associations such as those in Ptuj-Ormož and Gorenjska. These events cover topics including legislation and professional ethics for licence renewal, care for people with intellectual disabilities and emotional-behavioural difficulties, chronic kidney disease, airway management and mechanical ventilation. As a publisher, the association is associated with nursing literature and journals, most visibly Obzornik zdravstvene nege, for which it recruits editorial board members. This publishing role, together with its education and licensing activities, positions the association as a central institutional actor in Slovenian nursing and midwifery. Ownership and founding details are not specified in the available evidence. The organisation is presented as an active Slovenian professional association and academic publisher, with its headquarters and event venues located in Ljubljana and other Slovenian towns.
