The crucial role of community nurses in primary health care

Today the Community and Primary Health Care Nursing Week, held by the Australian College of Nursing begins, showcasing some of the most important and courageous work performed by healthcare professionals working outside the four walls of the hospital.

On the show you’ll hear some of these stories – from working as the only community nurse in a small snow stricken town north of Toronto, to providing care to some of Australia’s most marginalised communities.

Speakers:
Sandy Eagar – Nursing Manager at the NSW Refugee Health Service.
Christine Duffield – Professor in Nursing and Health Services Management in the Faculty of Health at the University of Technology Sydney and President of the Australian College of Nursing.
Anna Doab – Lecturer in the Faculty of Health at the University of Technology Sydney.
