Nursing Event Series 2024
Nursing at Melbourne: 2024 Seminar Series
Our Event Series
The Department of Nursing, The University of Melbourne, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre were delighted to present the continuation of their co-hosted public event series. The 2024 Nursing Event Series continued on from the 2023 Nursing Event Series, exploring the concept of equitable health care. The 2024 Nursing Event Series was also joined by new partners - The Royal Children's Hospital and The Royal Melbourne Hospital.
Ensuring equitable access to healthcare is not just a measure of safety and quality; it is fundamental to the performance of our health system. Nurses, positioned at the crossroads of primary, community, and acute health services, play a pivotal role in navigating timely access and advocating for system improvements to meet the diverse needs of all individuals seeking healthcare.
