The possibilities… Imagine a healthier communities Challenging because it is a complex social issue that impacts on health and well being of our community. What would that picture look like? How much of it is about health as we know it? What is our role as health workforce, nurses and leaders? Public health approach – how will we prevent history occurring? Promote Self management - how do we empower people? First contact care – the freedom to do whatever is required for the person Free nursing care – what would this mean for our communities?
