1st and 2nd of October

Day 1 we are hosting a panel discussion on our people, with an expert panel from different aspects of the workforce – what we want children and young people's nurses to look like, what do children and young people want from the workforce? Join us for the conference dinner that evening.

Day 2 listen to and join in a panel discussion around planetary health and what this means for the future of children and young people's health.

The rest of the program is up to you – submit an abstract and shape how the rest of the conference looks. Share your knowledge, expertise and experience with others and inspire the future of children and young people's nursing.  

The speciality practice area of nursing children and young people is often lost in the larger world of adult health. Come and shine a light on your area of practice.

This is a great opportunity to contribute to literature about children and young people's health, make connectins and enhance your knowledge and practise as a nurse working with children and young people.

Abstracts will close on the 27th of April https://www.accypn.org.au/call-for-abstracts.
