Welcome to our first Cardiovascular Nurse e-News for 2023
As Chair of the CSANZ Cardiovascular Nursing Council, I am delighted to share news about recent and upcoming events to get involved in.
Firstly, the CSANZ NZ ASM is to be held at the AOTEA Centre in Auckland, from 24 – 26 June 2023 – read more about their program here
Excited to announce there’s a new format for this year’s CSANZ CVN Symposium, to be held in the afternoon of Thursday 3 August, prior to the CSANZ Annual Scientific Meeting in Adelaide. This year we will be presenting a joint meeting with speakers from ACNC, CONNECT and ACRA. We ask for your support by joining us for this unique Symposium – put it in the diary now!
If you haven’t registered for the CSANZ ASM – don’t forget to nab your early-bird registration before closing on 5 June 2023. CSANZ ASM Register here.
I am also pleased to share with you some very exciting achievements by fellow nurses including the Spotlight on Dr Nilufeur McKay, WA, share latest journal publications, who to look out for at ACNAP in June, and the CSANZ ASM in August plus links to other interesting articles.
Last Friday 5 May, marked International Day of the Midwife. The theme this year was ‘Together again: from evidence to reality’ and of course, today, is International Nurses Day. We hope the celebration is special for you, and that Our Nurses Our Future campaign will shine the light on nurses and on a brighter future for all. Don’t forget to share the hashtag #IND2023 far and wide!
Take care, stay safe and we look forward to seeing you in Adelaide for the CSANZ Nurses Symposium, the CSANZ ASM, the ANZET ASM, but most importantly to be able to meet you and catch up face to face in August.
See you there,
Caleb Ferguson
