Retreats as a foundation for change. The Global Nursing Exchange as a retreat.
Innovation often emerges from an opportunity to retreat and reflect, from being away from normally hectic lives. Although retreats are often considered solitary events, when experienced with colleagues and friends, they can produce significant outcomes. Creative ideas, creative approaches to stubborn issues, and new links to colleagues are some of the benefits.
