Who can take part?

The program is for Registered Nurses, Enrolled Nurses, Midwives and Nurse Practitioners with experience in chronic disease management and aged care who are interested in expanding their knowledge of cardiovascular health, diabetes, mental health, cancer and injury prevention.

This course presents comprehensive strategies and is aimed at enhancing existing practices and expanding professional expertise. If chronic disease management is not currently in your existing practice, please view APNA Principles of Chronic Disease Management which is for nurses to develop and apply skills in chronic disease management, developing foundational knowledge and building practical strategies.

If you are new to primary health care, we recommend our Transition to Practice Program.
