1999 - 2019 Celebrating 20 Years of Commitment to Mental Health Practice

The annual 'Collab' (#collab19) celebrates and showcases the specialist practice of mental health nursing, and the ways in which this practice contributes to better health outcomes for consumers of mental health services. It welcomes early, mid-career and veteran mental health nurses, nursing students, academics and researchers alike.

The Victorian Collaborative Mental Health Nursing Conference (VCMHNC) is seeking abstracts for presentations on the specialist practice of mental health nursing across the breadth of service settings: public, private, clinical, community and non-traditional. They welcome abstracts from practising clinicians at any stage of their career, as well as from nursing academics, students & researchers. They also encourage abstracts from consumers, carers & allied health professionals with a perspective on the ways that mental health nursing practice contributes to better outcomes for service users.

Abstract submissions now open, closing 12 April 2019.

Date: Thursday 15  & Friday 16 August 2019.

Venue: The Valley in Melbourne's Moonee Ponds.
