Invitation to attend
The conference committee extend a warm welcome to all emergency nurses to attend the 16th International Conference for Emergency Nurses (ICEN) for the College of Emergency Nursing Australasia (CENA) to be held from 10th – 12th October 2018 in Melbourne at the Pullman, Albert Park.
Emergency services globally are under increasing pressures. Implementing safe, quality care has become more complex in an often chaotic environment. There is often limited time and opportunity to reflect on the care delivered and share our lessons learnt with others. We therefore invite you to join us at the International Conference for Emergency Nurses where we will ‘Showcase the Best of Emergency Care’. This conference will provide a platform for emergency clinicians to share, learn and collaborate, to improve emergency care for everyone.
We look forward to welcoming you and your colleagues to the 16th International Conference for Emergency Nurses.
