Empowering professionalism and celebrating the future in nursing and midwifery.
Empowering professionalism is a significant element of the Nursing Now Campaign 2018-2021 and part of the National Nursing (including Midwifery) 2030 strategy.
- What do we mean by celebrating the future in our two professions?
- How can we engage in raising the profile of the professions?
- How can we promote the health and well-being of nurses and midwives?
- What more can we do to impact the patient experience and outcomes?
These are all questions we are keen to explore at the Nursing and Midwifery Leadership Conference 2019.
When considering these questions in the context of celebrating the future in nursing and midwifery, we are looking to examine :
- Equity of care and access to care
- Providing care through a cultural lens
- Building resilience and the health and well-being of the nursing and midwifery workforce
- Proactive and visionary succession planning
- Nursing and midwifery research and how this impacts on our professional lives and those of our patients
- How to care for the carers, are we doing this any better
- Workforce flexibility, agility, diversity and difference
- Sustainability in health care
- Digital health systems and informatics initiatives
Master of Ceremonies
MC – Narelda Jacobs
Narelda is the presenter of Perth’s Channel Ten News at Five. Narelda has been a journalist at Network Ten for 17 years and was appointed presenter of the station’s nightly hour long 5pm news service 8 years ago, at which time she became the first indigenous female news anchor for a commercial network in Australia.
Narelda graduated from the WA Academy of Performing Arts and began her career at GWN (Golden West Network) in Bunbury. She joined Ten News in 2000, eventually becoming their court reporter, and also filling in as weather presenter during summer months. In 2008, after the sudden death of news anchor Charmaine Dragun, Network Ten announced that production of their Perth news bulletin would return to Perth from Sydney, and they selected Narelda as news anchor.
Narelda has never had any qualms about what she wanted to do in life. “I wanted to be a reporter ever since I was in primary school. Although there were no indigenous role models in the media for me to look up to, my parents watched a lot of current affairs programs that that was probably a big influence.”.
Keynote Speakers
Stan Grant
Stan Grant is the Indigenous Affairs Editor for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, a multi-award winning current affairs host, an author and an adventurer. Well known for having brought the former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to tears when interviewed about Indigenous affairs on The Point, Stan’s keynotes are insightful, engaging, always professional and at times, controversial.
Stan Grant’s Aboriginal heritage has shaped his dynamic, resilient personality. Born in Griffith in south-west New South Wales, in 1963, Stan Grant’s mother is from the Kamilaroi people and his father is of the Wiradjuri.
Stan spent most of his childhood on the road living in small towns and Aboriginal communities across outback NSW. His father was an itinerant saw-miller who worked when and where he could. Stan moved so often he attended 12 different schools before he was in his teens. The early traveling gave Stan a love of adventure and stories. He grew up listening to the tales of his grandfather and uncles and aunts. Despite poverty and an early sporadic education the security of his family and the larger Aboriginal community gave him a strong platform for life. After attending University, Stan won a cadetship with the Macquarie Radio Network, launching a career in journalism that has spanned more than 30 years and more than 70 countries. In that time Stan has travelled the world covering the major stories of our time from the release of Nelson Mandela, the troubles in Northern Island, the death of Princess Diana, war in Iraq, the second Palestinian intifada, the war on terror, the South Asia Tsunami, the Pakistan Earthquake and the rise of China.
Stan has hosted major news and current affairs programs on Australian commercial and public T.V. He has been a political correspondent for the ABC, a Europe correspondent for the Seven Network based in London and a senior international correspondent for the international broadcaster CNN based in Hong Kong and Beijing. Returning to Australia in 2013, Stan continued to cover international events for Sky News Australia and reignited his passion for telling the stories of his own indigenous people. He has worked as the Indigenous editor for the Guardian Australia, managing editor for National Indigenous Television and international editor for Sky News. In 2016 Stan Grant was appointed as the special advisor to the then Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on Indigenous constitutional recognition.
Stan has won many major awards including an Australian T.V Logie, a Columbia University Du-Pont Award (the broadcast equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize), and the prestigious U.S Peabody Award. He is a four-time winner of the highly prized Asia TV Awards including reporter of the year. Stan has written The Tears of Strangers and Talking To My Country (Harper Collins), and has published numerous articles and opinion pieces for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Australian.
Stan Grant is passionate about justice and humanity. His years of international reporting has given him a deep understanding of how the world works. He is deeply immersed in the politics and history of Asia and the Middle East. He can link the importance of leadership and the impact of history and above all believes in the power and resilience of people. Stan is married to ABC Sports Broadcaster, Tracey Holmes and has four children. He lives in Sydney.
