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.”.
