Continuing professional development (CPD)

Nurses and midwives attending the 15^th National Rural Health Conference can count their hours of attendance towards their mandatory annual Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) requirement of 20 CPD hours. The NMBA considers one hour of active learning equals one hour of CPD (the measurement of CPD is no longer points). Hours completed can be added to your Professional Development Portfolio. ANMF members (includes NSWNMA and QNMU members) in all states and territories are encouraged to attend this important conference event.  Website:  www.anmf.org.au

The Pharmacy and Medicines stream (C8) at the 15th National Rural Health Conference has been accredited for 0.5 hours of Group-2 CPD (or 1 CPD credit), suitable for inclusion in an individual pharmacist’s CPD plan.  The accreditation number is S2019/15.
