Our Distinguished Nursing Lecture Series brings together distinguished leaders, thinkers and scholars from nursing and healthcare to engage in discussion and debate with students, faculty and partners, and build shared knowledge to future-proof our programs of work and create a collective global mindset.

We bring together a variety of perspectives from nursing, midwifery, nutrition, dietetics and psychology to educate future healthcare practitioners and undertake research that is at the cutting edge of practice.

Our vision is to nurture global citizens in health and wellbeing. To that end, we're ensuring that our students, faculty and community partners have access to the ‘big thinkers’ of our time.
