Connections & Directions Forums

Twice a year, all public health service Directors of Nursing (DON) and/or Executive Directors of Nursing (EDON) are invited to join the Principal Nurse Advisor (PNA) in a series of strategic conversations.  The objectives of these forums include connecting Directors of Nursing across metropolitan, subacute/aged care, rural and small rural sectors to share and discuss key Victorian nursing and midwifery directions with the PNA.

The Connections & Directions Forums are issues-based, day long events designed to create opportunities to engage in the issues at a strategic level, considering national and local context and is an environment that encourages reflection and authentic conversations.  Attendance is by invitation and restricted to DON or EDONs.
