A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE

Bringing together nurses from across the country, the National Nursing Forum is our annual signature event that informs and inspires delegates through an exceptional line up of prominent speakers, networking opportunities and entertainment.

In 2021 ACN welcomed more than 700 delegates to our annual National Nursing Forum (NNF) which at last minute due to COVID 19 was swiftly moved to a virtual meeting. The Virtual Forum was a tremendous success with a record-number of delegates from across the country and profession. The program informed and inspired delegates through an impressive line-up of keynote presenters, concurrent sessions and masterclasses delivered by leaders in nursing, health and government. Through our theme, Champions of Change, a variety of thoughtprovoking and inspiring presentations left delegates armed with ideas and information to take back to their professional and personal lives. Delegates had the chance to form meaningful connections and valuable relationships with colleagues working across all settings and levels of the health care system. The energy, excitement and passion for our profession and organisation was palpable at the National Nursing Forum in 2021.

“Low Battery Anxiety” Grips 9 Out of 10 People - PR Newswire

Benefits

Did you know that Low Battery Anxiety is actually a thing? According to recent studies, indeed it is! We know that 99% of NNF Forum delegates downloaded and actively used the app throughout the Forum. Exhibitors are busy making new connections and scanning QR codes. Everyone is networking, messaging and trying to keep up with what’s happening back in the office or at home. That means there are a lot of people constantly using their phones and therefore a lot of potential for phone batteries to require a recharge throughout the day. Why not take advantage of this need and help relieve any potential low battery anxiety by becoming the Phone Charging Hub Sponsor for 2020. A great opportunity to raise your company profile by offering a much-needed service at the Forum.

ACN’S PRINCIPLES OF WORKING WITH INDUSTRY GUIDELINES The Australian College of Nursing (ACN) has developed clear principles that must be followed in entering into any relationship with industry, including pharmaceutical companies, manufacturers and suppliers of medical devices, health-related products, information technology and other industry suppliers. Position statement: ACN has a responsibility to ensure that its interactions with industry are in keeping with ACN’s professional standards and responsibilities to its members, the nursing profession and society as a whole. As such, relationships with industry are appropriate only if they do not conflict with ACN’s core values and do not compromise ACN’s integrity and objectivity. General principles - The principles which must apply in all instances are: • conformity with ACN’s intent, core values and strategic directions • professionalism and ethics, as outlined in the Code of Conduct for Nurses in Australia (2008), the Medicines Australia Code of Conduct 17 and the Medical Technology Association Code of Practice • no relationship should undermine ACN’s independence • consistency with ACN policies and practice principles and guidelines • transparency of process, except for commercial in confidence activities • regulatory compliance and accountability. WAIVER OF LIABILITY Australian College of Nursing (ACN) and Australian Conference and Event Organisers (aceo) accept no responsibility for and no liability to any persons or body for any loss, injury or damages incurred or suffered by them in consequence of or incidental to their participation in or attendance at the event and whether arising directly or indirectly from any action or cause whatsoever undertaken, organised or sponsored by ACN and/or ACEO.
