Welcome
NLC09
9th and 10th June 2009
Novotel
Melbourne
St Kilda, Victoria, Australia.
Welcome to the
Sixth Nursing Leadership Conference that addresses the broad range of issues surrounding leadership within Australia and Internationally.
A Time of Change
That change is an integral
component of our society and health care system few would argue.
The ever increasing cost of advances in technology; ongoing
challenges in workforce shortages; retention of skilled staff;
funding crisis after budget shortfall, the latest report
released about what the health system needs done to it make it
work..... the list is never ending!
How we, as nurses,
perceive, react and meet these challenges in education,
research, clinical practice, management and leadership is the
focus of this conference. NLC09 will draw together
inspirational leaders who will share with you how they have
tackled these challenges with insight, research, knowledge and
humour. To complement their addresses a number of Master
Classes will be held. These classes are small group
opportunities to develop and explore in greater depth the themes
raised by the guest speakers. Where possible they will be
facilitated by the guest speaker themselves.
