Welcome Message

On behalf of the Australian Nurse Teachers’ Society (ANTS) and Conference Organising Committee, I welcome you to the 18th National Nurse Education Conference in 2021, to be held 8-10 September 2021. 

The theme ‘Inspire, Motivate, Educate’ reflects the life-long learning journey of the nursing and midwifery profession, to share knowledge and celebrate experiences through invited speakers; workshops; presentations; research and networking.

INSPIRE | Teachers open the door. You enter by yourself - Chinese Proverb

MOTIVATE | Every road has two directions - Russian Proverb

Education is the cornerstone of the health care system, for the provision of person-centred care.  Professional education and self-development opportunities interact between the clinical and academic spheres to build on the experience of the individual throughout their professional careers for the ultimate goal of ensuring the quality of health care.

We look forward to seeing you at Sea World, Gold Coast at the 18th National Nurse Education Conference to explore the theme 'Innovate, Motivate, Educate' and expand your own educational nursing/midwifery practice in all of its complexity.
