What is a WHO Collaborating Center?
The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified a select
number of organizations and institutions to provide technical
expertise to the member countries and the WHO. The designation
focuses on a specific topic area and WHO Collaborating Centers
must apply for re-designation every four years. The WHO Collaborating
Center at the Bolton School of Nursing focuses primarily on
home care nursing, with a secondary emphasis on evidence-based
practice. These areas are consistent with our strengths in both
home care and evidence-based practice.
There are currently twelve WHO Collaborating Centers in Nursing in the United
States and 37 in the world. Each has specific terms of reference
or a focus area--examples include primary care, nursing education,
health promotion, and nursing research.
