Night Duty Nursing Conference (Feb 21 - 22, 2019)

Night Duty Nursing Conference is organized by Ausmed Education Pty Ltd and will be held from Feb 21 - 22, 2019 at Rydges Sydney Central, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

The target audience for this medical event is Nurses. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 11.00 CPD Hours.

Conference Overview:
Because night duty nurses usually practice in less-resourced situations, as well as in the dark of night, they experience a range of particular challenges, including people who rapidly become unwell. Attend this conference and learn about:

• Clinical deterioration at night
• How to assess the skin in five minutes
• Troubleshooting venous access devices
• New evidence on the effects of sleep disturbance
• Finding the time to learn - how to stay up to date at night

Need for Program:
Nurses who practice at night may find it more difficult to access education that specifically relates to their work environment. Their challenges may involve the reduced availability of resources, increased risk, untoward clinical problems, and patients who are sleeping rather than engaging in daytime schedules – which makes observation more complex. Evidence-based knowledge for a nurse at night is crucial for confident, safe, and effective decision-making.

Purpose of Program:
The purpose of this education is to provide a program that focuses specifically on the needs of nurses who work regular or occasional night shifts.

Learning Objectives:
• Engage in meaningful dialogue with colleagues to improve safety and quality of patients throughout the 24-hour continuum of care
• Provide up-to-date evidence-based clinical care that relates to a range of conditions that can be problematic at night
• Improve patient safety and reduce errors at night through knowledge of commonly administered medicines
• Use information relating to your professional education requirements to enhance professional development

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
