Event Details

This web conference is an opportunity for the CHA Directors of Nursing to connect with their peers to discuss workforce challenges at their service.

Given the compounding challenges experienced by Directors of Nursing across the nation, CHA has arranged this web conference as a networking opportunity for you to connect and share your challenges, achievements and strategies to reduce the impact of staff losses, burn-out and low morale.  

It appears Directors of Nursing, nationally and internationally, are experiencing increasing expectations of the nursing workforce combined with declining resources. This includes stealth rationing – not backfilling, increased complexity of patient care, growing demand and insufficient time for service delivery with the ever-present bureaucracy creep (extra documentation, reporting, auditing, compliance etc).

During this web conference we will:

• commence with introductions
• discuss workforce issues such as experienced staff losses, and the practical and effective supervision of an inexperienced workforce
• review successful nursing workforce innovations and systems of allocation to support a new workforce – challenges and triumphs with tried-and-tested strategies
• and open the floor for discussion around nursing staff wellbeing and supportive initiatives to promote better staff health

Please join us for an hour of networking investment: an opportunity to share with peers; to listen; and to take home ideas to implement improvements at your service.
