Sydney Region Leadership Team
Join the Sydney Region Leadership Team for their webinar Digital Age of Nursing, to be hosted by Shannon Wallis MACN, Winner of the 2020 Health Ministers Award for Nursing Trailblazers.
Shannon will share with participants her journey to innovation, the challenges and successes of practitioners and patients in adapting to digital health technologies and how nurses can engage in this exciting mode of health delivery.
Shannon is the Virtual Care Nurse Unit Manager at West Moreton Health Service (WMHS) and is leading clinical teams to oversee the establishment of a virtual hospital, the MeCare program, the Heart Health Hub and a range of ‘light touch’ programs including COVID virtual beds and gestational diabetes program.
Shannon strives to support, encourage and develop all staff who work within WMHS to deliver virtual care to ensure patients are provided with a suite of virtual care models that facilitate a smooth transition through different stages in their health care journey. These innovative programs use remote patient monitoring, telehealth, clinical software and reporting to focus on delivering personalised care to patients in their own home and reduce the burden on hospital resources.
