APNA Festival of Nursing scholarships

Four nurses received COORDINARE scholarships to attend the 2023 APNA Festival of Nursing conference and have since implemented quality improvement (QI) patient care initiatives including; chronic kidney disease, cervical and skin cancer screening.

Implementation has involved reviewing and analysing practice data, identifying areas of need and working with practice teams to implement these models of care.

We are required to do our own CPD as part of our practice nurse registration, so it was a good way to consolidate learning and collaborate with other nurses who work in the same area who are outside of our own team. It is good to have fresh ideas and important to keep learning and evolving.

Great support from the PHN to ensure we get to use the knowledge that we’ve got.
