Positive practice environments are workplaces that support safe, high-quality care, protect the health and wellbeing of staff, and promote productivity and professional satisfaction.

For nurses and midwives, creating and maintaining these environments is essential to ensuring safe workloads, supportive cultures, and the delivery of the best possible care.

This one-day course will give QNMU members the opportunity to explore the Positive Practice Environment Standards and understand how culture, leadership, and governance shape safe and supportive workplaces.

Through discussion and group work, you’ll gain practical strategies to promote and strengthen positive practice models in your own workplace.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

·         describe the factors that contribute to a positive workplace culture

·         understand how leadership, work culture, research, and autonomy impact the practice environment

·         engage in group discussions and Q&A to deepen understanding of key themes

·         gain working knowledge of the Positive Practice Environment Standards endorsed by the Queensland Government

·         identify practical steps to promote and initiate a positive practice model in your workplace.

This course is open to all QNMU members and provides 6 CPD hours.
