The Nursing Show, a benchmark event for the nursing profession, was born in 1988, following the nursing movement in March of the same year, where awareness of the working conditions of the profession took place.
The genesis is undoubtedly to be found in the purchase in 1985 by Thierry Verret of Editions Lamarre; With the help of Annick Jouan, he transformed the magazine “l’nurse française”(*) into “Lettre de l’Infirmière française”. In 1987, the format of the publication changed again to be called “The French Nurse”. The first issue will be devoted to professional risks for nurses. The magazine aims to be written “by and for nurses”.
The show joined Paris Healthcare Week in 2016. This integration aimed to bring together several major shows (HopitalExpo, GerontHandicapExpo, Salon HIT.) under the same banner, facilitating exchanges between different players in the health sector, and offering media visibility impossible with an individual outfit for each show.
- This merger allowed the Salon Infirmier to benefit from increased visibility and attract a wider audience, in particular thanks to the diversity of themes covered during Paris Healthcare Week, such as technological innovations or telemedicine issues.
- In 2018, the Salon Infirmier was sold to PG Organization, marking a separation from Paris Healthcare Week. This decision was motivated by the desire to reposition the Nursing Show as an independent event, more focused on issues specific to the nursing profession. However, it is held jointly with Paris Healthcare Week until 2024 inclusive, and is emancipated for its 2025 edition, the two shows being held on separate dates.
During the 3 days of the Nursing show, there are workshops to talk about these practices but also round tables to discuss together on the evolution of the nursing profession. You will also have the opportunity to register to attend scientific conferences which change every year.
The content remains focused on new practices, the provision of effective care, the development of nursing skills... solid links regarding the professional career.
For the Nursing show, exhibitors will be able to rent LED screens or HF microphones to highlight
