Across professions and around the world, professional and caregiver burnout has become an important issue. This is particularly true for new practitioners who may have difficulty navigating the transition from the idealism of school to the realities of the workplace.
This presentation will explore models and methods used in different jurisdictions to better equip new practitioners for the realities of day-to-day patient care practice and describe educational, regulatory, professional, and employment supports necessary to optimise wellness of the health workforce.

Professor Karen Strickland
To infinity and beyond! What does the future hold for postgraduate careers in health?
Healthcare is ever evolving and the roles and career pathways for health care professionals must evolve with this. Many of the opportunities and roles available in today’s health care did not exist 30 years ago. Similarly, some of the roles new graduates will hold are yet to be invented!

This presentation will explore post registration career pathways and the role of education in developing the varied career opportunities from different countries. We will discuss the implications to support the future workforce in Australia underpinned by high quality education preparation.
