Atoifi Health Research Group (AHRG) members are among approximately 300 nurses from across the Pacific who are attending the 18th South Pacific Nurses Forum this week (31st October - 4th November 2016) in Honiara. Ten members from the AHRG group are presenting six papers and one poster reporting a range of clinical and public health research findings, along with practice implications.

Conference organisers stated, “The forum brings together more than 300 nurses from across the Pacific to explore the importance of cross cultural understanding and regional cooperation in nursing.”

The theme for the Forum is: Towards Nursing Excellence for Universal (Pacific) Health.

Conference organisers further explained, “The 18th SPNF brings together evidence, experience and innovations highlighting nurses contribution to universal health coverage, and demonstrating how nurses are important to ensuring access and quality of health care for all.”
