Building a database of YOUR favourite conference.

Every nursing specialty has at least one major representational conference each year.
For emergency nurses in Australia it is the College of Emergency Nursing Australasia (CENA) annual International Conference for Emergency Nursing.

This year it is being held at the Grand Chancellor Hotel in Hobart Tasmania from 10th – 13th October.
So for any Aussie ED nurses thinking of attending (and I strongly recommend you do), it is time to start getting your registration, accommodation and funding wheels in motion. Details Here

What about all you other specialist nurses (ie you)out there.? Which is the conference that best supports your own area of work?

I would like to ask you to take a moment to search out its conference website and drop a link to it in the comments along with a little info about where when and why.

Together, lets generate a list of the best worldwide nursing conferences for every nursing specialty which I will assemble into a separate page for future reference.

Thanks,
Ian.

    Best conferences?
    CENA, of course.
    EmergencySA – the only conference in Australia for emergency nurses, doctors and pre-hospital, also including military, flight, retreival and also picking up some other emergency services personell. Next on in 2014 http://www.emergencysa.org.au (declaration of interest – have been in on organising this one since its inception!)
    Also the National Correctional Healthcare Summit conferences by IIR conferencing (running since 2010) is shaping up to be pretty good for correctional healthcare providers – however as privately run it is expensive to attend.
    Thanks!

    DANA Annual Conference (Drug and Alcohol Nurses of Australasia) allows nurses, mostly from across Australia and New Zealand ( everyone welcome though) working with substance dependent patients to showcase their work, review their research and develop networks with colleagues. This year the conference is being held in Melbourne Australia (15th and 16th June). Next year it will be held in Auckland New Zealand in conjunctio with the New Zealand College of Mental Health Nurses.. The website for the Auckland conference is under development. I will return with its URL in a few weeks.

    ANZScoS is an annual conference that a few of our senior staff, especially doctors and senior nursing, attend with great anticipation. We always look forward to hearing about new developments and approaches to the challenges we face daily in our speciality of acute spinal cord injury.

    • James Senior said: Thank you, for a beautiful description of MAP…always love to use your material as a reference. James

    • ofelia said: Never heard about MAP before today, I had been taking medication for high blood pressure for10 years, until I found a Dr. that told me that I could get rid of the pills with alternative medicine, been off the pills for three months now, and there are days that I worry about my readings, even though most of them are within normal...

  • New graduate nurses, do we need them….or not? (10)
    • John said: It’s not a failure of leadership but a plan to destabilize our medical system and fully privatize it. No more medicare, user pays, just like in the U.S. Also an excuse to import foreigners, give them citizinship, then use there citizinship to increase Australia’s international debt borrowing. No, you won’t read that...

  • nurses fuck cancer. (3)
    • Rachel said: I agree with you Fabbia. No matter how much we try to be good at educating our patients, at the end it is still up to the patient’s decision whether to follow what we have said or not. On our side, at least we know we have given whats the best for them. We can’t touch every patient’s lives always.

  • yes. I am going to write a book. (11)
    • Brad Winter said: Nice work Ian! I hope you find your book writing mojo and get it published – it’s a new challenge and I think we all know you’re up for it. Good luck!
