Hospitals Without Walls
Hospital without Walls network fosters collaboration between clinicians, nurse leaders, and educators working in hospital settings to provide community paediatric services. It also aims to strengthen connections with Australian and New Zealand community paediatric teams, while facilitating the sharing of resources and experiences. Key focus areas include, but are not limited to, evidence-based learning for remote workforces.
