The National Conference was held in October 2010 and many QLD members were present. It was great to get a chance to network with passionate Rehabilitation specialists from around the country, and New Zealand. Jeanette Harwood was successful in receiving an education scholarship from ARNA QLD to attend the conference, so we look forward to her feedback.

We will host the 2011 ARNA National Conference at the Gold Coast on Oct 6-7, so lock in those dates now.
Our annual one-day workshop will be in March at PA Hospital. Expressions of interest are open for any nurses’, allied health staff or anyone who simply loves what they do to present at the workshop. So if you have an interesting topic, paper, poster or just something great you want to brag about, please contact us at qld@arna.com.au We look forward to your ideas…… Details on registration are available on the web site now.

We are also planning another Saturday morning education session at Greenslopes Private Hospital in May, following the success of the one held this year.

A reminder that ARNA QLD has educational scholarships available. Please see the website for further information or contact one of the committee members.

Please feel free to contact any committee member at any time if you have an issue or something to discuss or request.

On Behalf of the Committee I would like to wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy 2011.

The QLD Committee formally meets every two months at Brisbane Private Hospital or via teleconference. All members are encouraged to contact the committee with any ideas they may have for events throughout the year.

Sponsorships

Just a reminder that we have funds available to award two educational sponsorships to QLD members. We have not had anyone take up a sponsorship in the last few years and are hoping that this year there will be more interest. ARNA QLD is committed to supporting Rehab nurses continuing education.
