Nursing Breakfast: Nurse-led Innovation – Turning Ambition into Action

Nurses are pivotal in advancing viral hepatitis care through innovative, person-centred models of care that improve access, strengthen engagement, and respond to the evolving needs of often vulnerable and marginalised communities.
 
Join us for this interactive breakfast session as nurse leaders and innovators from across WA share models of care from within a range of healthcare settings. Through real-world insights, panellists will share the innovation, partnerships, and practical approaches driving meaningful change, while reflecting on how their experience translate into meaningful change to improve hepatitis prevention, testing, treatment, and care.
 
Aligned with the conference theme, Every Voice, Everywhere: Turning ambition and experience into action, this session will showcase how nurse-led innovation is not only responding to today’s challenges but helping shape the future of viral hepatitis care and the path to elimination.
Date: Thursday 13 August | Time: 7:15am – 8:15am
