Annual SWEDNEC Forum
The annual State-wide Emergency Department Nurse Educator Committee (SWEDNEC) Forum was held on the Sunshine Coast on November 7/8. This is an opportunity for emergency Nurse Educators, Clinical Facilitators and Clinical Coaches to meet for two days of education and networking. It is also an opportunity to share innovative ideas and education programmes that contribute to improving clinical outcomes for patients presenting to emergency departments across the State.
This year, the forum that was sponsored by CENA and QEDSAP and was well attended by nurses from across the state and included metropolitan, rural and remote nurses.
Thank you to CENA members Amanda Nauman and Ana Lichy who were this year’s conveners.

Promote ICEN 2020 Photo Competition Winner
Thank you to all of the EDs who took the time to submit an entry to promote ICEN 2020.
We asked EDs to consider the beach theme of the conference and submit a photo that would match the theme and location on the Gold Coast. The winner of the competition was Gold Coast Private Hospital with their very imaginative photo. The photo will be used over the next 12 months leading into the conference. Congratulations Gold Coast Private Hospital ED.
Wellness in Emergency Care
On May 30, CENA Qld held an education evening that focussed on wellness. Our guest speaker for this fun night was Natalie Cook OAM, 5 times Olympian and Olympic Gold and Bronze medalist who discussed self-care strategies that aim to promote mental and physical health. The night was well attended with nursing, medical and paramedicine represented from a number of SEQ hospitals. The night concluded with a light supper. Thank you to all that attended and especially to Natalie who was such a great speaker.
