The School of Nursing has been working collaboratively with Howest University College since 2016. It is one of the leading providers of higher education in West Flanders (Belgium). Each year the nursing department at Howest organises an International Conference for their students. Students and lecturers from across the world are invited to participate to learn with and from each other. This enables attendees to learn about the importance of social and health influences on nursing, health and healthcare provision.

In April 2017, John Gilmore and Andrew Southgate gave presentations at the International Conference and Andrew participated in facilitating student groups to help them find solutions to scenarios that focused on developing cultural insight and awareness.
