Healthy North Coast, in collaboration with the University Centre for Rural Health, invites you to an interactive workshop designed to strengthen your primary care nursing skills. This hands-on session will explore both clinical and non-clinical aspects essential to everyday practice, offering practical insights and tools to support your professional growth.
Please note, a maximum of two nurses per practice apply ensure fair access across the region.
If you attended last year’s workshop, invite a colleague to participate in the training this year. This helps your practice share both repeated essential skills and new topics, ensuring continued growth and up-to-date knowledge.
