Excited to welcome a new group of facilitators to our community of communication skills educators in Australia and New Zealand!

The Royal Australasian College of Physicians I love the enthusiasm and recognition by The Royal Australasian College of Physicians of what women can achieve in medicine. Let’s remember that we are far from achieving parity. Please prove me wrong by publishing data showing progress in rates of pay and distribution leadership roles in our health services 😊🙏

Scotty Crawford welcomes us all to ANZSN’s #DNT2025! He shared experiences about moral injury, the challenges of capacity, advocacy and equity. The his year’s theme is “Advocate and Innovate” with a focus on what units can take home and implement!

Hannah Wallace challenged the status quo of early CKD management with different models of care, working with primary care, utilising nurse practitioners, and technology/telehealth, trying to #MakeKidneysSexy through a community and public health approach. #DNT2025

And as he was introduced, one of the sexy men in nephrology, Brendon Neuen discussed approaches of embedding kidneys in the mind of funders and research in clinical practice. A consistent message in #DNT2025 has been on what can be achieved when we partner with consumers.

Some important take aways and messages from the advocacy session:- 🐄 what are the sacred cows? 🤝 build relationships early 🔊 get involved before an ask 🎈lift your gaze 👭 engage consumers #DNT2025

Fantastic initiatives in the quality improvement showcase:- 🩸 rationalising routine HD path 🗣️ ACP in HD units 💬 communication skils workshops ♻️ green nephrology 💉AVF management 🏥 CKD care coordination 🫘 lived experience measures #DNT2025

Quality improvement in focus 🔍 :- 🚦moving data reporting away from traffic lights 🌊 responding rather than reacting to variation 🖼️ reframing MnM as a QI opportunity 💫 QI innovation fellowships should become a recognised training pathway #DNT2025

The yANZSN session:- ✨updates on the new The Royal Australasian College of Physicians curriculum 🏋️‍♀️reflections on the challenges of training 📝launch of the wellbeing survey 🥰thriving in our workplaces- individual, unit and organisational responses #DNT2025

My favourite thing about #DNT2025 - the people! Loved working with Scotty Crawford and Kylie Martin- passionate, considering every detail, wanting to take our colleagues on a journey and challenge them. ANZSN is very fortunate to have up and coming leaders like them 🙌🏻
