One of the key activities to be undertaken by AGPN under the Nursing in General Practice (NiGP) Program is to host a two-day annual Forum for the Division Practice Nurse Program Officers and other interested Divisional staff. The first of these forums was held in 2006.

• The key aims for the forum are to:
• Showcase nationally relevant NiGP initiatives and models.
• Share knowledge, skills and resources.
• Coach and collaborate with divisions to build their capacity to support nursing in general practice.
• Build support networks amongst division NiGP program officers nationally.
• Provide an opportunity to review the strengths and weaknesses of the NiGP program.
• Prioritise future activities.

The 2007 NiGP Divisions Forum will be held in Coffs Harbour on 28th & 29th August. Funding is available to cover the travel and accommodation costs and registration fees for one delegate from each Division and SBO. Divisions/SBOs can send more than one representative however this would be at their own cost.

To be eligible for supported travel and accommodation delegates are required to book prior to 30th April 2007.
