Working in, or planning a career in rural, regional and remote nursing or midwifery? Interested in making a difference to reduce health inequalities in the bush? This seminar is FOR YOU!

The NSWNMA and CSU have collaborated to bring this empowering event to Port Macquarie. Hear from inspirational leaders and experts as they showcase innovative models of care and strategies to build capacity and capability within rural, regional and remote health workforces.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Trish Lemin

Trish’s nursing career has taken her from rural emergency departments to being deployed to fire zones and to Wuhan, China early in the pandemic. Working as a district trauma clinical nurse consultant is where Trish found her true passion in the nursing profession. Trish also has experience in academia as a nursing lecturer and researcher.

As recipient of the ‘NSW nurse of the year 2021’ award in recognition of her work in Emergency management, Trish’s goal is to ensure patients with severe injuries receive the best care in regional and rural hospitals. She believes this will be achieved by increasing nursing skills and capability in regional NSW around disaster preparedness. Trish currently works as the disaster nurse manager within the Mid-North Coast LHD.
