Launch of Nursing Group 'will help staff share best practice' - CFW

TODAY sees the launch of a new initiative from Care Forum Wales (CFW) - the launch of a special interest group for nurses working in the care sector.

The new Care Homes Nursing Group kicks off today with a seminar in Cardiff's City Hall. This will be followed next week by a seminar for North Wales-based staff with a meeting in Conwy Business Centre on June 15.

The initiative is aimed at supporting CFW's nurse members by providing them with a forum in which they can share best practice and professional knowledge.

The Care Homes Nursing Group will be split into three branches - one in South East Wales, one in South West Wales and one in North Wales.

Mario Kreft, chief executive of Care Forum Wales, said: "These groups will provide a vehicle for the dissemination and sharing of information, providing support on professional and personal issues. It will also provide a link to the Welsh Government and commissioners and planners of are services."

Once established, the Nursing Group will identify its own agenda and define its future purposes. Members are welcome to book a place to attend the next meeting, in Conwy on June 15, or contact CFW for further information. Non-members are also welcome to attend for a small fee (£35 per delegate).
