Some of them dealt in different contexts with how to cope with the high psychological and physical demands that the profession of nurses and other nursing staff brings - for example, how to prevent burnout syndrome, but they also showed how there is a thin bridge between the nursing ideal and professional blindness, how to find ways to reconcile demanding work and family life, etc. Two lectures dealt with the elderly - specifically, comprehensive care for them and cooperation in the field of health and social care for people with dementia, topics which, as practice shows, are still sometimes neglected. The lecture that showed the impact of the Civil Code on the provision of health services or the one that outlined the surgical treatment of non-specific mediastinal inflammation was certainly interesting. The brochures in the hands of the attendees were then related to another lecture concerning communication with the English-speaking patient. They were created on the basis of the project "Improving the quality of the nursing course in English and introducing nursing in German at the Beroun Secondary School of Nursing", which has been running since 2015. This publication was produced in cooperation with the Rehabilitation Hospital Beroun on the basis of a questionnaire survey among its staff and aimed in particular to identify key situations that nursing staff may encounter. Participants of the Beroun Nursing Day received four credits under the Lifelong Learning System.
