Webinar - Fulfilment in Healthcare: A Call to Meaning

Professor Mark Lazenby, Professor of Nursing and Philosophy, UCI.
With Nicole de Tullio, Director of Nursing at St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney.

In a time when burnout dominates conversations in nursing, Mark invites us to explore a powerful alternative-fulfillment. Drawing on deep philosophical insights, he uncovers how nurses navigate challenges to find meaning and purpose in their work. Fulfillment isn't about eliminating difficulties but embracing them with intention, transforming everyday care into something profound. This talk is a must for anyone seeking to reconnect with the heart of nursing, rediscover the wonder in their practice, and reaffirm the profession's transformative power - for patients, for nurses, and for the future of healthcare.

Date: Thursday 27 February
Time: 12 - 1:15pm
