24 CPD Hours
Welcome – we hope you enjoy exploring the Conference information below. If you would like to secure your place or have any further questions please complete the enquiry form or call Education at Sea on 02 6674 2577.
Now, from the outset, let me say this: if you think because you’re not a nurse manager, you can’t nurse your culture back to good health, then frankly, that’s like saying the only person responsible for delivering great patient outcomes is the doctor.
Patient outcomes rely on every single member of the multidisciplinary team: and I mean from the consultant physician to the ward cleaner. We all have a part to play. If one jigsaw piece falls out, then those optimal patient outcomes simply cannot be delivered.
Culture is exactly the same.
Workplace stress is considered the number one performance killer in organisations: $125 billion is spent annually in Australia for poor wellbeing of workers who are stressed and struggling.
During this conference, I promise two things:
One: I’m going to reorient your perceptions about the profound impact you can truly have in curing toxic workplaces. After all, there’s nothing more disillusioning than feeling powerless in a place where you probably spend a considerable amount of your time.
Two: I’m going to give you a 4-step strategy to nursing your workplace back to good health: I call it Code GREaT.

Wild by nature, the island’s landscapes effortlessly combine the spectacle of steep cliffs and dense, dark forests with fine sand coves and impressive rocky headlands. Quite unlike anywhere else, the scenery provides visitors with the perfect opportunity to explore what makes Maré Island so unique.
An understated and underappreciated cultural mixing pot, brimming with stunning views, rich food and a turbulent but fascinating history.
The mix of both French and local Kanak culture, intermingled with aspects of Vietnamese and Indonesian influence, has created a unique travel experience in Nouméa and New Caledonia.
Large beaches of incredibly pure white sand, such as Kuto Bay, are scattered across the island, with extraordinarily clear turquoise waters home to remarkable marine flora and fauna just waiting to be discovered. If you’re dreaming of beautifully clear waters and stunning white sands, Kanumera Bay, Oro Bay and Upi Bay are good places to start.
