text: It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Nursing and Midwifery Leadership Conference 2019.
  A key element of the Nursing Now Campaign 2018-2020 and the National Nursing (and Midwifery) Strategy 2030 is 'empowering professionalism'. As we now approach the Year of the Nurse and Midwife in 2020, there has never been a better time to empower, celebrate and raise awareness of our professions.
  Over the course of this conference we will be fortunate to receive keynote sessions and presentations from State, National and International leaders that will inspire us with the work they have achieved. I hope this will provide a platform to explore exciting new opportunities to prepare nurses and midwives to fulfil the integral role they have in leading high quality and sustainable health care in the future. This will include the need for visionary and innovative leadership, identification of talent and succession planning, promotion of nursing and midwifery research and advancement in digital health systems and nursing and midwifery informatics.
  At the conclusion of the conference, and as we return to our places of work, we will continue to face the challenges of health care in the 21st Century. However, the importance of continuing to network and work in collaboration will be critical to strengthening and raising the profile and success of our professions. I invite you to consider how we come together as a united profession to improve the diversity, agility, flexibility and resilience of our workforce. I also ask you to consider the unique physical, mental, spiritual and cultural needs of, not only those we serve but also those colleagues we work alongside, to promote their health and wellbeing and provide holistic care.
  Finally, I encourage you start the movement to 'empower professionalism' by wearing the honour of being a nurse or midwife with pride, leading with authenticity and integrity and caring for our patients, the community and one another with compassion.
