Agents for change

Message from the CEO: When we started our national leadership program Women in Digital Health (WiDH) last year, we were expecting a strong response from potential candidates and we weren’t disappointed. The cohort of future leaders achieved so much in their journey together, they are sure to stay connected for years to come. This week we open applications for the 2023 intake which will run from February to August. It features the same outstanding curriculum specifically designed to help women accelerate their professional journeys in digital health. We will be keeping it real by aligning the candidate’s final project challenge to the themes of the Institute’s Shifting the Dial advocacy and leadership strategy.

WiDH is also a great platform from which to achieve professional recognition and we expect to see many WiDH alumni emerge as candidates for national industry and professional awards in coming years. Are you ready now? I would strongly encourage women in our industry to nominate themselves or someone they know for digital health recognition.

Applications for WiDH are open until 20 January 2023 and candidates are invited to register for an online information session on Wednesday 30 November 2022.

EDITORIAL

Nursing. Midwifery looks at a global issue

The rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 resulted in lockdowns and stay-at-home mandates in over 90 countries. Emerging data from front line health and support services reported that during this period, violence against women had increased. This alarming crisis and human rights violation has been labelled ‘The Shadow Pandemic’ by the World Health Organization and United Nations (UN).

The Institute’s Nursing.Midwifery network looks at the research in this editorial.

University of New England Research Study

The University of New England (UNE) is conducting an Australian nursing and midwifery academic workforce survey and wants to hear from casual nursing academics as well as those employed substantially in the university sector. The survey is anonymous and looks at understanding issues influencing work satisfaction and intention to stay in the workforce.
