Leadership Enhancement
Each year the Office of the Chief Nursing Officer conducts a series of leadership enhancement forums. The aim of the forums is to provide nurses and midwives in Western Australia with access to key national and international leaders. The forums are advertised extensively and all nurses and midwives are welcome to attend.
Background

- To foster the development of nursing and midwifery leadership across the professions.
- To engage with key nursing and midwifery leaders to maximise the strategic direction for the nursing and midwifery professions in Western Australia.
