You're on mute – unheard stories from the pandemic
The long term impacts of the pandemic on students and newly registered health care workers are somewhat unknown. Whether students have had the necessary breadth and depth of pre-pandemic experiences to prepare them for future practice is yet to be seen.
We'll hear from our students and their teachers and supervisors reflect on their experiences, and discuss what role education plays in future proofing the supervised practice year.

How do universities and professional organisations take advantage of new technologies to drive innovation and to foster re-alignment of today’s learning systems with the affordances of emerging technologies?

The invisibility cloak - It takes a pandemic to reveal the value of health professionals.
