The organising committee invites you to attend the inaugural conference on Leadership and Practice Development in Health: Quality and Safety through Workplace Learning. The conference has an interdisciplinary focus on workplace learning and clinical supervision in its many forms. We are proud to present an exciting program that will feature nationally and internationally recognised leaders from nursing and midwifery, allied health and medicine to showcase the latest and the best in research and practice.

The program will stimulate discussion regarding health workforce reforms and the latest advances in mentorship/preceptorship, coaching and clinical supervision across a broad range of inter disciplinary themes. The conference will highlight the use of simulation as a teaching and learning strategy, that is particularly suited to the development of teams and practice based learning. Interactive workshops will support the conference program.

Whilst visiting Tasmania take the time to experience some of the amazing wilderness and coastal areas unique to this Island State. Many natural highlights and attractions are within only a short travelling distance from Hobart. Tasmania is also well known for its fine food and wine, available at local restaurants and wineries and a feature of our conference dinner.

We invite you to come and learn, mingle, relax and enjoy our beautiful state.
