The Australian Nurse Teachers’ Society (ANTS) invites participants to submit abstracts for the 21st National Nurse Education Conference.
The theme in 2027 is “Designing the Future of Nursing Education: Leading Innovation, Strengthening Workforce and Sustainable Healthcare”
As health professionals we have a commitment to life-long learning, and we recognise the importance of keeping abreast with current developments in our field of practice.
The conference will allow you to share knowledge and celebrate experiences through invited speakers’ presentations, research opportunities, and networking.
Conference themes include the following
• Innovation in nursing education
• Strengthening workforce
• Sustainable health
• Learner engagement
We encourage a variety of presentations that facilitate discussion, storytelling, live demonstration and small-group activities. Participants should move from passive listening to active contribution. Traditional slide-based presentations can limit engagement and meaningful interaction. If PowerPoint is absolutely necessary – there will be a four slide maximum and 20 word limit on each slide. Delegates should leave with tangible tools and adaptable techniques to improve their local nursing education practice.
Abstract Submissions Open: Monday 24 August 2026
Abstract Submission Deadline: Thursday 15 October 2026
Notification of Acceptance: around Monday 30th November 2026
