Hearing (recorded) presentation from Assoc Prof Beverley Ewens #BackToTheFire Image
Diverse membership of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Inclusivity Committee: Ewens #BackToTheFire Image
Only committee of its kind in the uni, quite well established (7 years), meet every 6 weeks, report to school's executive and curricula bodies. #BackToTheFire Image
Ewens: enabling factors underpinned by strengths base for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to succeed at @EdithCowanUni #BackToTheFire Image
Some of the committee's guiding frameworks are the uni's RAP (with its own School operational plan), the Getting Em and Keeping Em report (32 recs - all still relevant today). Been part of audit of review, looking forward to its findings #BackToTheFire
. @WestRoianne notes that Indigenous nursing and midwifery students are still 30% less likely to complete Nursing and Midwifery programs. #BackToTheFire
Cultural safety training @EdithCowanUni School of Nursing and Midwifery - School is part of research being led by @WestRoianne on cultural capability measurement tool #BackToTheFire Image
. @WestRoianne congrats the @EdithCowanUni School for their longstanding work/commitment, and focus on the evidence base. #BackToTheFire
Also in reply, @strictlykaren welcomes the work being done at the @EdithCowanUni School, to support more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, academics and leaders at all levels #BackToTheFire
"We're not just looking for mentors, we're looking for academic inputs...." says Aggie Caracciolo #BackToTheFire
Next up we're watching a recent presentation at 18th National Nurse Education Conference 2021 by @WestRoianne (she added her own inspiration to the conference's - Cultural Safety a lifelong journey) #BackToTheFire Image
Why cultural safety rather than cultural competency is required to achieve health equity: a literature review and recommended definition

Was heartening that #BlackLivesMatter was acknowledged among key issues for this year's @acn_tweet Nursing Now Australia Finale: @WestRoianne #BackToTheFire
In reference to the Getting Em n Keeping Em report: catsinam.org.au/getting-em-and… #BackToTheFire Image
Establishment of @CATSINaM was a move of self-determination, as was creation of ACCHOs.

Irihapeti Ramsden identified that more Indigenous nurses were needed to improve Indigenous health outcomes.

#BackToTheFire Image
"Remember to leave a paper trail." Words from Irihapeti Ramsden that still resonate for @WestRoianne #BackToTheFire
Here's @WestRoianne PhD: Indigenous Australian participation in pre-registration tertiary nursing courses: an Indigenous mixed methods study researchonline.jcu.edu.au/25859/ #BackToTheFire
Is an upward trajectory from 2012 in commencing nursing students, but also for non-Indigenous students...so the risk is that the disparity will remain the same, continue to result in high attrition rates, Indigenous students only account for 1pc nursing workforce #BackToTheFire
750 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students commence nursing/midwifery each year, 250-300 graduate: completion rate is only rising 1pc per year: @WestRoianne #BackToTheFire
ICYMI yesterday, here's background to Muliyan, a national collaboration to decolonise health care - to be strong, political, and call out the system for how it continues to cause harm, through racism: catsinam.org.au/muliyan-who-we… #BackToTheFire
"They don't know what they don't know." The need for truth telling in nursing and midwifery.

"Research is an act of resistance."

#Muliyan #BackToTheFire
catsinam.org.au/muliyan-logo-s… Image
Beyond 2020: Addressing racism through transformative Indigenous health and cultural safety education - one of three publications to emerge so far from Muliyan @dauareb_le @LynoreGeia @TamaraJPower #BackToTheFire onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
. @strictlykaren (Chair, Council of Deans) congratulates @WestRoianne for setting @CATSINaM on a visionary path to strengthen Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurses/midwives: "It's a really exciting time to be starting to work with you more closely on this." #BackToTheFire
Hearing now from @LeeonaWest (twin sister of @WestRoianne!) about @CATSINaM scholarships, including one in honour of Aunty Grace Kong (mum of @KelvinKongENT & (more twins!) Marlene Kong and @drmarilynclarke #BackToTheFire Image
Heading to the end of today's @CATSINaM #BackToTheFire WA event and hearing re the design of the new logo

Coming up in this afternoon's session at @CATSINaM #BackToTheFire online event on Gadigal land: @WestRoianne @LynoreGeia @LeeonaWest
Were roundabouts not pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health professionals - recognition of Indigenous knowledge was just not there in nursing/midwifery disciplines, says @WestRoianne #BackToTheFire
We don't say we want more Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander nurses/midwives to replace AHWs - "My mother would give me a clip over the ear if I did!". It's about dealing with ambiguity." #BackToTheFire @WestRoianne highlights this important paper pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24997119/

Kylie Ward says that if nurses can address systemic violence it will improve the lives of many in our community - women, children, LGBTQI+ and others. #NNF2021
Willetts stresses the need for psychological safety for nurses speaking up on violence - "we need support from our organisations, communities and governments" she says. #NNF2021
Willetts says we need a national dataset on occupational violence - currently there is no consistency which means we don't have a national perspective. #NNF2021
