CL NURSES: PRESENT AND AVAILABLE
Central Queensland University, Noosa Campus, 90 Goodchap St, Noosaville QLD 8:30am - 4:00pm, Thursday 6th and Friday 7th June 2013
- Dr Frances Hughes, Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer, QLD
Afternoon 1:00pm - 4:30pm Brief psychotherapy frameworks for CL nurses: Solution Focused, Gestalt, Conversational model This is the second collaboration between the Consultation Liaison and Perinatal & Infant Special Interest Groups, and will involve both shared and streamed presentations. It offers a unique opportunity for the CL nursing community to create conversations and explore the process of presence, being with and affecting change in the variety of settings that we work. The Conference will explore how we understand what constitutes being present and available, how change emerges in the person, staff or the system and what conditions are needed to support this essential feature of CL nursing. Reflecting the Conference theme, our day two keynote speakers will be engaged in a 'fireside chat', exploring the way in which psychiatry and mental health nursing can come together to be present and available to the consumers and clinical settings we serve. Set on the backdrop of beautiful Noosa, this is an opportunity too good to miss.

Date of this advice: 13/10/11
Perinatal & Infant Mental Health Nurse eNetworkThe Australian College of Mental Health Nurses (ACMHN) is pleased to announce and host the Perinatal & Infant Mental Health Nurse eNetwork, being launched in conjunction with the ACMHN’s 37th International Mental Health Nursing Conference (October 4th – 11th, 2011). The Perinatal & Infant Mental Health Nurse eNetwork aims to link peers for an exchange of information, support and ideas. Given the nature of this sub-speciality, Nurses working in this field don’t always have regular contact with peers who share perinatal & infant mental health experiences and interests. Although initiated by Perinatal Mental Health Nurses and Perinatal & Infant Mental Health Nurses, other health professionals working closely with pregnant women, new mothers and their families are also invited to join. We recognise and value the partnerships we have with Midwives, Maternal, Child & Family Health Nurses, Indigenous Health Workers and other health professionals; we warmly welcome your contributions to the eNetwork. The Perinatal & Infant Mental Health Nurse eNetwork is not moderated (ie: uncensored), but nuisance posts (abusive, racist, sexist, inappropriate advertising etc) will not be tolerated. As with other professional email networks and common netiquette, we expect the tone of the eNetwork to be casual, generous and supportive. Registration for our Perinatal & Infant Mental Health eNetwork will be available soon! Date of this advice: 30/9/11
