Neuroscience Takes Centre Stage: RNSH Symposium highlights worldwide learnings The 2024 Sydney Neuroscience Symposium was recently held at Royal North Shore Hospital by the World Federation of Neuroscience Nurses (WFNN). The event had 65 members in attendance who were treated to 11 presentations across the day, including an address from keynote speaker and WFNN President Cathy Cartwright who was visiting from the United States. The presentations on the day covered a host of different topics including neuro assessment skills, movement disorders, neurosurgical cases, stroke, paediatric neurosurgery, paediatric head injuries, concussion clinic advancement and professional success. Royal North Shore Hospital clinical nurse consultant Vicki Evans Roach AM, who has been a board member of the WFNN since 1994, said the day was a great opportunity for collaboration and discussion across the various topics. “It was fantastic to have so many clinicians come together to share such important insights and learnings on all things neuroscience,” she said. “I’d like to thank Cathy and the president of the Australasian Neuroscience Nurses Association Diane Lear for joining us.” On the back of this successful event, the WFNN will host the WFNN Congress in Darwin next year.
