Each Forum will see two presenters showcasing their research on a wide variety of topics relevant to nurses and midwives. The forums also provide a fantastic networking platform with attendees from various departments across the hospital and academics from the universities.
Attendance contributes one hour towards requirements of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia for continuing professional development.
