Approximately 700 nurses from across Australia will come together at the Darwin Convention Centre from 17鈥�19 August for the National Nursing Forum (NNF).

The ACN NNF provides an opportunity for nurses and nursing students to connect with and learn from the experiences of their peers nationally. The 2022 event examines the theme of 鈥楴ursing Leadership Unmasked鈥� across keynote addresses, research presentations and networking events.

The event will also discuss nurse-led solutions to Australia鈥檚 most pressing health challenges including maintaining and growing a sustainable workforce, violence against nurses and the impact of climate change on health.

鈥淔or the last three years, the nursing profession has stood tall to lead Australians through an unprecedented pandemic and series of devastating natural disasters,鈥� ACN CEO Adjunct Professor Kylie Ward FACN said.

鈥淓xerting all our physical and emotional energy into caring for others has left little time to focus on our own personal and professional development.

鈥淚t has also made it harder to reflect on the incredible acts of leadership and innovation demonstrated daily by my nursing colleagues across the country.

鈥淓very nurse is a leader, regardless of their official position or title.

鈥淣ext week鈥檚 National Nursing Forum aims to 鈥榰nmask鈥� these stories of leadership that my nursing colleagues shared with me daily throughout the pandemic.

鈥淭he event is an important time for colleagues to connect with each other, either in Darwin or by attending virtually, and share the innovations and learnings from their local area to a national audience.

鈥淭his makes each story of nurse leadership throughout the pandemic unique and special. The experiences of graduate nurses in a major metropolitan centre are very different from those of primary care nurses in rural and remote Australia.

鈥淎CN鈥檚 National Nursing Forum provides a physical and virtual space for these stories to be shared within the profession and to the broader general public.鈥�
