Seminar Recap | Prepared for the Unexpected: Perspectives of Health Care Professionals in Disaster and Emergency Care Management

February 28, 2026, our senior nursing students of the Faculty of Nursing Science, Assumption University of Thailand successfully hosted an international academic seminar as part of the course Trends and Challenges in Nursing and Healthcare Forum — a truly remarkable achievement led entirely by a student team, supported by a dedicated and strong faculty advisor team.

The hybrid event brought together both on-site and online participants, fostering rich dialogue on disaster preparedness, emergency care, and frontline nursing leadership in the context of Thailand’s evolving health challenges.

We were deeply honored to welcome our distinguished speakers:

Mr. Paisan Khonjumpa — Deputy Secretary-General, National Institute for Emergency Medicine Services (NIEMS)

Dr. M.L. Arbkhanok Tongtham — Lecturer, Department of Community Health Nursing, Srisavarindhira Institute of Nursing, Thai Red Cross Society

Dr. Warissara Sorat — Assistant Dean for Student Residence and Welfare, Faculty of Nursing, Prince of Songkla University

The seminar featured two engaging sessions — a keynote on strengthening emergency preparedness and a dynamic panel discussion on nursing leadership under pressure. A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful sponsors — Premier Marketing, Lactasoy, GS, ISDI, and Fun & Su — for their generous support that made this student-led event possible.

We are proud of every student who stepped up as future nursing leaders. This is what learning in action looks like.
