Message from the CEO: Today I am proud to say one of the Institute’s long-held goals comes to fruition - the launch of the national leadership program for Women in Digital Health. Many months of work and close collaboration with partners Telstra Health, Alcidion, EY and Coviu have brought us to this milestone for the Institute. Best of all, there are so many brilliant women working and achieving in our sector, we asked some of them to come forward as role models, mentors, and coaches. We were not disappointed. We are inspired by their generous and enthusiastic response which will ensure we take the inaugural 25 participants to their next career level. Our first group will be supported by the Institute’s team of mentors Prof Wendy Chapman, Janine Cox, Dr Ruth de Souza, Berne Gibbons, Tricia Liebke, Dr Magdalena Simonis and Dr Monica Trujillo. The first of its kind in Australia, the program will run from February to August 2022 and is designed to cater for women at all stages of their leadership career journey. If this sounds like you, we are taking applications for the first round until 10 January 2022.

The impactof mhealth on nurses and midwives
Impact of mHealth on nurses and midwives: Most nurses and midwives are familiar with health apps, but possibly not the broader meaning of mobile health or mHealth. Health applications offer health and wellness-related services for smartphones, tablets, personal computers, and other communication devices, whereas mHealth is a general term for the use of mobile and wireless technologies to improve health. This month the Nursing.Midwifery Community of Practice is discussing the use of mHealth by nurses and midwives.
