Nursing Workforce: Challenges for the Pacific

Friday, 1st August 2008, The University of New South Wales, Sydney

The Australian Aid program identified a number of areas to focus in the Pacific, of which health systems development and preventive and disease management were priority (Commonwealth of Australia, 2007). Central to both areas, is the workforce, and specifically the Nursing and Midwifery have over many decades been at the forefront of developments in Nursing Midwifery training in Pacific countries. Skilled migration is also a current issue in the Pacific, where the migration of nurses is one of the most important. Given the above, the forum was timely to convene experts to discuss issues on The Nursing and Midwifery Workforce in the Pacific.
