Subject: FYI: CATSINaM National Summit Invite
Dear colleagues,
National Summit on Cultural Safety in Nursing and Midwifery Education & Training
November 5-6, Canberra (venue TBA)
CATSINaM is excited to announce a unique event for the nursing and midwifery profession in Australia that will be held on November 5th and 6th 2014 in Canberra. There are only 50 places available, so please save this date in your diary. We will provide further information and an agenda in the near future, but here is an overview.
The National Summit will bring together nursing and midwifery peak bodies and educators with CATSINaM Board Members and Staff. It will enable us to share existing knowledge and activity about cultural safety in the profession. We will explore the strengths and weaknesses of current work, and identify what needs to occur so we achieve:

* increased understanding and shared commitment to cultural safety in the nursing and midwifery profession

* enhanced recruitment and retention of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nursing and midwifery students and graduates in the health workforce

* better health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians through all nurses and midwives providing culturally safe services.
One way we can achieve this is to work together to establish a LINMEN Leaders in Indigenous Nursing and Midwifery Education Network, similar to the Leaders in Indigenous Medicare Education (LIME) network that has been funded by the Australian Government Department of Health for several years.
Cultural safety is of central importance to CATSINaM, as we know how critical it is in closing the gap in the health workforce representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, and in both quality of life and life expectancy. Our policy on cultural safety is available on our website: http://catsinam.org.au/?page_id=495.
We look forward to talking and working with you in November. If you would like to register your interest now for the National Summit and ensure you secure a place, please contact Colleen Gibb in the CATSINaM office on: policy@catsinam.org.au
Regards
Janine Mohamed
