Education of the current healthcare workforce in nursing and other professions is a global priority as is educating professionals of the future.  NETNEP 2012 encourages the sharing of the research and practice of nursing and healthcare education as it exists in the classroom and in clinical practice and promotes networking opportunities for colleagues from around the world.

The NETNEP series of conferences has attracted delegates from more than 35 countries which brings a richness of sharing with, and learning from, each other. There will be a large number of presentations throughout the event, including Keynote presentations, oral and poster presentations, Symposia and workshops, giving delegates the opportunity to hear not only the latest research or innovation in education in a myriad of different contexts but also to participate fully in an interactive programme.

The conference experience is for anyone involved in the delivery, development and organisation of nursing and healthcare education, as well as those who actively engage in participating in educational programmes. The Conference particularly welcomes contribution from faculty, nursing and midwifery educators, academic administrators, senior education managers, practitioners, researchers and students.

The following main themes have been chosen to reflect current education research, developments and innovations internationally and as evidenced in both Nurse Education Today (NET) and Nurse Education in Practice (NEP)

• Continuing Professional Development / Education
• Teaching, Assessment and Learning in University and Clinical practice
• Technology, Simulation and Education
• Faculty and Practice Partnerships
• Research for education, policy and global developments

The conference will be presented in English and translation services will not be available.
