Welcome to the Forum for Shared Governance — the leading resource for nursing shared governance accreditation, research, education, and professional governance tools worldwide.
Getting ready for my day at as a sponsor (the Forum for Shared Governance) AONL’s fourth conference on professional governance, I wanted to share my recent podcast with the Think Factory. I got a chance to discuss my current thoughts on shared professional governance…Dr Bob Hess

The Forum for Shared Governance’s Accreditation Program for Professional Governance continues to grow, adding new international organizations:
Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá (Colombia), Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital (Saudi Arabia), Fahd Military Medical Complex (Saudi Arabia),
and King Hussein Cancer Center (Jordan – first reaccreditation).
See if you have what it takes to become accredited by the Forum!
