We have some great news: we’re coming back face to face!
The Nambucca & Macksville Clinical Society is your chance to embed yourself in your local community of health practitioners. It’s an opportunity to make friends, network, get to know your referrals, learn new information and have fun in a collaborative, knowledge-sharing space.
On Thursday 18 November, the Nambucca & Macksville Clinical Society will meet at Blue Gum Function Centre in Macksville for an evening to reflect on the past year, come together and gain some education on wound management. We’ll hear from Nambucca-based Cheryl Frank, a clinical nurse consultant in wound management, about diagnosis-related care plans and ways to collaborate more efficiently with public health services to manage the increasing number of older patients with multiple co-morbidities living with long-term wounds.
We’ll also talk to you about the Nambucca and Macksville CPD needs assessment and share with you Healthy North Coast’s draft 2022 CPD calendar. This will be a chance for you to let us know what’s missing and which CPD topics are important for your personal learning.
