Nursing and Midwifery, March 12

11:20 AM PANEL DISCUSSION: KEEPING HEALTHCARE HUMAN: MAINTAINING THE PERSONAL TOUCH IN AN AI-ENABLED ENVIRONMENT

As AI transforms healthcare, the challenge for nurses is not just adopting technology but ensuring it enhances, rather than erodes, the human connection essential to quality care. Join to examine how to get the balance right, encouraging the critical engagement with AI tools while safeguarding empathy, trust, and patient care with a personal touch. Explore strategies to shape the future of healthcare, ensuring technology empowers nurses and protects the patient experience, including:

- Integrating AI into everyday use in ways that enable rather than replace direct patient care

- Maintaining empathy, trust, and human connection in a digitally-driven environment

- Influencing AI adoption, advocating for patient-centred, ethical care as healthcare evolves

1:00 PM PANEL DISCUSSION: INNOVATING PRIMARY AND COMMUNITY NURSING: DELIVERING CARE BEYOND THE HOSPITAL

As healthcare shifts towards preventative, community-based, and integrated care, nurses increasingly operate outside traditional hospital settings. Join to explore strategies to strengthen primary care nursing, home-based care, and multidisciplinary collaboration, ensuring continuity, equity, and quality of care.

- Expanding nurse-led clinics and community health programs

- Integrating care across hospital, primary care, and community settings

- Using technology to support care coordination and patient self-management
