The College of Nursing invites you to a Professional Evening
National Nursing & Midwifery: What’s on the horizon?
Nursing and midwifery practice in Australia is undergoing significant change with the implementation of national accreditation and licensing, healthcare reform under a new government and the recent appointment to the new position of Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer. This seminar provides you with the opportunity to hear from nurse leaders how the political and policy landscape will be shaped in the not too distant future and its impact on practice.
