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
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.
Guidelines
Abstracts will be blind reviewed.
Please ensure you do not include any authors or organisations in your abstract upload or use your name as the file name.
There is a section during the submission process where authors and affiliations must be entered before submitting your abstract.
Formatting
Abstracts submitted should indicate how the presentation will link to nursing and midwifery educators.
Please note that for your abstract(s) to be considered for review, it must strictly adhere to the abstract submission guidelines.
Presentations
If your abstract is selected, oral presentations will be a total of 15 minutes, 10 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes of questions.
Abstracts of all presentations accepted for inclusion in the Conference Program will be published on the Conference website.
Poster Presentations
Accepted posters will be on display within the exhibition area during the Conference. If an abstract is not accepted for an oral presentation, it may be considered for a poster presentation.
Guidelines for accepted posters will be provided closer to the event.
Review of Abstracts
All abstracts will be reviewed by members of the NNEC 2027 Scientific Committee to ensure scientific quality and compatibility with the conference themes and areas of interest. If needed, comments from reviewers will be provided to authors prior to giving their presentation.
The ANTS encourage novice presenters to apply. Applicants may be contacted by the review committee with suggestions on how to improve their proposal. The amended submission will then be used by the scientific review committee.
Important Points to Note
Potential presenters should note all costs to attend the Conference must be met from their own resources.
At least one author of the accepted abstract is expected to attend and present at the Conference.
