Nursing forum

“THE 21st Century: has ADF nursing arrived?” is the theme for the 2nd ADF Nursing Officer Forum to be held in Canberra on November 6-7.

More than 120 permanent and reserve nurses from across the three services are expected to attend the annual event, coordinated by Director of Defence Force Nursing Captain Jenny Graham.

The forum will focus on current nursing practices, careers, education, leadership and the delivery of quality health care to members of the ADF.

Prominent guest speakers from Defence and the civilian health community will present topics of interest on nursing and health care relevant to the forum’s theme.

Members will have the opportunity to network with their tri-service counterparts for professional and personal development.

Nursing Officers interested in sharing their experiences, expertise, and ideas on health care improvement, education, leadership and nursing practice are invited to attend the two-day forum at the Badcoe Theatre, Duntroon.

A dinner at University House, Australian National University, is scheduled for November 6. Numbers for the dinner are limited and tickets cost $65.50 a person.

A registration fee of $45 – which will cover morning and afternoon teas – applies to the forum and registrations close on October 20.

Registration forms and further details are available from Lieutenant Colonel Beverley Wright on (02) 6266 3085 or beverley.wright@defence.gov.au.
