Nursing Event Series 2023

Nursing at Melbourne: 2023 Seminar Series

Our Event Series

Equitable access to health care is a key indicator of safety and quality of care and is fundamental to the performance of our health system. Nurses work at the intersections between primary, community and the acute health services and therefore play an important role in navigating timely access and advocating for system improvements that meet the needs of all people seeking health care.

This year the Department of Nursing, The University of Melbourne and Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre are proud to co-host a public event series that will explore the concept of equitable health care and the critical role that nurses play in closing the equity gap.

We have called this year’s series

Nursing Innovations for Health Services Research:

Examples from the Field

Purpose

Our four-part series aims to:

  1. Explore the design, implementation, and evaluation of nurse-led models of care that address equity of access to health care for vulnerable populations,
  2. Consider strategies to optimise nurses’ scope of practice to enable better access to healthcare
  3. Foster networking and collaboration among clinicians, researchers and students with an interest in health services research focussed on advancing equity of access to healthcare.

Dates for your diary

Together we warmly welcome all of our colleagues, students and health partners across Parkville and beyond to join us in person.
