March 2022 CDNM Symposium
On Tuesday 29 – Wednesday 30 March 2022, the Council of Deans of Nursing and Midwifery was delighted to host our inaugural symposium on “Future-proofing the profession: A think tank for nursing and midwifery.”
Held on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, the symposium was a wonderful opportunity for Nursing and Midwifery professionals to reconnect in person. Presentations explored the themes: 1. The Nurse of the Future, 2. Models of Education, 3. Enabling Professionalism and 4. Transitions in Learning. During the two days, special sessions were also held, such as the World Café (facilitated group discussions), a Pecha Kucha Session, an AI workshop with SimConverse and the announcement of the launch of the National Placement Evaluation Centre (NPEC).
We were also very pleased to welcome the following keynote speakers:
