12:20 PM PANEL DISCUSSION: QUALITY AND SAFETY IN A COMPLEX SYSTEM: HOW NURSES DRIVE BETTER OUTCOMES AT SCALE

As healthcare systems grow more complex, nursing leadership remains the backbone of safe, reliable, and high-quality care. This panel brings together senior nursing leaders to explore how nurses can steer organisation-wide improvements—through smarter rostering, standardised practice, digital enablement, clinical governance, and a culture of continuous learning. Speakers will discuss practical strategies for reducing variation, strengthening multidisciplinary collaboration, and empowering nurses to shape system-level safety outcomes across acute, community, and aged care settings.

- Reducing variation: standardising practice to strengthen safety

- Workforce empowerment: enabling nurses to lead improvement

- System connectivity: improving safety across care transitions

- Data for quality: using insights to drive better outcomes
