If you are a nurse working in any spectrum of the care pathway for the critically ill patient, SMACC is the conference for you. If you have just woken from a coma or stumbled into the world of the interwebs, below is a brief history and taste of things to come. For the seasoned SMACCers, you will notice a radically overhauled and ultra vibrant new website – http://www.smacc.net.au
This is a truly open conference – nobody is too “special” for a coffee line conversation. What’s more two of our editorial team (Ashley and Jesse) are proud members of the Organising Committee (of which three members are Nurses!). There are few professional development activities that make you want to go back to work and lift up those around you, start a blog or podcast or just present, teach or mentor better. In a time where much of the popular online presence for nursing is tangled up with materialism and commercial self-interest we need to step up, show ourselves as professional role models interested in evidence and research and political discourse. We need to tear down walls, form communities of practice and expand our peer group far beyond the people we work with on a day-to-day basis.
On September 3rd, the SMACC Team premiered the SMACC DUB Documentary. This 8 minute video gives a great insight into what make SMACC special – the people, the connections, the knowledge and the show!
