    Meet the Chief, Part Three of Three

    She's Australia's most senior nurse and in this instalment, Matt St. Ledger talks to adjunct professor, Alison McMillan about the the changes that could redefine nursing as we know it...

    We're casting our eyes forward - beyond the day-to-day, to what's next for the profession.

    From the growing influence of Nurse Practitioners and expanded scope of practice, to how we stay connected as a workforce in a system under pressure.

    What will it take to future proof nursing? And how do we make sure nurses are at the centre of change and not just reacting to it?

    Its the final episode of this bonus series, but the conversation doesn't end here — nurses are driving innovation, shaping policy and redefining what healthcare policy looks like.

    Stay informed, stay connected and keep leading from the front. And stay tuned for more healthcare news.


    This highly anticipated special series has been produced by Leith Alexander.
