📌 ANZSVN September Update

The “-ber” months have finally arrived so that means Christmas is just around the corner. Before we get to the silly season, let’s celebrate each other and vascular nursing.

🎉 ANZSVS/ANZSVN Conference - 🐦 Early Bird Registration and Awards 🎉

Get ready for the annual ANZSVS/ANZSVN Conference being held October 2-5 in Adelaide. ANZSVN presentations include advancing vascular nursing practice and models of care with balancing innovation and integrity as the theme.

Jo Gibbs is back to bring calm and serenity to our busy lives.

ANZSVN Award Nominations and Early Bird Registration close on September 7.

The Sheri Sandison Encouragement and Vascular Nurse of the Year Awards will be presented at the conference dinner.

The Sheri Sandison Encouragement Award is for a member who identifies with vascular as a career pathway and is coming up through the ranks in their local workplace.

The ANZSVN Vascular Nurse of the Year Award is presented to a nurse who has contributed to advancing vascular nursing practice within their clinical area, displays a commitment to the profession of vascular nursing, actively shares their knowledge with their peers and undertakes self-directed learning.

Members are requested to nominate a nurse colleague for either of these annual awards. Download the nomination forms today.

🩹 Wound Awareness Week

Wound Awareness Week is September 1-7.

This year’s theme - Be Wound Aware: Wounds Affect EVERY Body - focuses on prevention, timely detection, and high-quality care to avoid chronicity and get wounds healing.

It’s time to share, let’s Be Wound Aware!

🩺 Vascular Nurses Week 🩸

The Society for Vascular Nursing celebrates Vascular Nurses Week September 7-13 this year.

While we may be on the other side of the world from many of our vascular nursing peers, we are united by the cause.

The vascular patient presents as a challenge with a variety of co-morbidities and a degree of psychosocial complexity.

Let’s celebrate each other and the work we do.
