Programs for Individuals

We have designed cost effective, short lecture style sessions specifically for pro-active registered and enrolled nurses who are wanting the latest in evidence based older adult nursing.

While your workplace may provide you with 20 continuing professional development hours, do they cover all your learning needs as per the NMBA?

If your topic of interest is not listed just call us. We can usually have a session developed within two weeks, with readings for extra CPD, at the affordable fee from $33.00 for an hour session.

With any of the individual sessions you:

• receive a handout of any slides
• receive extra readings for more CPD hours
• may email any questions to the facilitators
• automatically print your CPD Certificate, with a unique identifier
