Australian Nurse Teachers Society

Hi Colleen,

We run a "Twilight Skills Workshop" about 10 times per year to cater for Resource Pool and Permanent Night Duty staff.

The workshop program includes both online modules and an after hours face to face component, covering annual accreditations for basic life support, safer patient handling, fire safety etc, and other topics of interest to specific nurse/midwife groups, such as child safe environments, managing aggression an so on.

The workshops are generally well-attended, with a maximum of 20 participants allowed to ensure adequate attention from the educator group for each participant.

We also have other online learning modules available for staff to allow them easy access to their 20 hours of professional development per year.
