Join us as we explore how our generations can take action now to protect and optimise the health and wellbeing of future generations at ACN's 7th Policy Summit. This year we put the spotlight on the critical issues affecting our Children and Young People and explore how the nursing profession can, and must, show leadership to improve outcomes for future generations.  

The summit provides an opportunity to engage with leaders in their field, and contribute to setting the policy agenda through insightful discussions and collaborative sessions.

Let's unite to forge a healthier future for our children and young children.
