How Remote Nurses Worldwide Impact on the Profession

This lecture discusses how the independence of nurses, past and present, who work in remote areas of the world has enhanced our understanding of the scope of nursing practice. Examples of nurses working in the Outer Hebrides (UK), Queensland (Australia) and Newfoundland (Canada) are presented. The nature of the work undertaken by these nurses in the outback of Australia is described. The nurse’s enormous responsibility and freedom is analysed and acknowledged in this informative session. Not to be missed!

The main concepts explored in this session are:

History of nursing – Remote area, bush nurses, outback nursing
Nursing stories – historical - contemporary
Past informing and guiding nursing’s future
Nursing profession and sole practitioners
Nursing discipline and professional accountability
