Rehabilitation Reimagined:
Honouring the Past, Shaping the Future
This year’s conference celebrates our journey so far and explores how the wisdom of our past continues to inform bold new directions in rehabilitation, leadership and rehabilitation in our nursing practice.
This is an opportunity to showcase the innovative, unique and progressive work of nurses in the rehabilitation arena. We will learn from and with each other as well as further developing our rehabilitation nursing network and the specialty practice of rehabilitation nursing.
The aim of the ARNA conference is to:
- Deliver education and training about rehabilitation for nurses working in rehabilitation and working outside designated rehabilitation services
- Enhance rehabilitation skills and capabilities of nurses generally
- Provide a platform to share the very latest research in rehabilitation nursing care
- Encourage networking and collaboration
- Build a strong, empowered and capable community of nurses who understand the importance and practice of rehabilitation across all healthcare services and settings
