11:20 AM PANEL DISCUSSION: REINVENTING GERONTOLOGICAL NURSING: SCOPE, EDUCATION & OPPORTUNITY TO PREPARE FOR AN AGING POPULATION

The demand for specialised, skilled gerontological nursing has never been greater. Yet current models of care, workforce structures, and education pathways are struggling to keep pace with the complexity of older person care. From managing multimorbidity and dementia to supporting independence and dignity, nurses are at the frontline of this challenge. Join this panel to explore scope of practice, education and training innovations, and opportunities to elevate gerontological nursing as a valued, specialised, and rewarding career path. 

  • Expanding scope and visibility of gerontological nursing 

  • Strengthening education and career pathways in ageing care 

  • Positioning gerontological nurses as leaders in innovation and system reform
