Description
Despite being the most trusted profession, nurses are significantly underrepresented in the media, appearing in only a fraction of health news stories. This hands-on pre-conference session is designed to equip nurses with the skills and confidence to become visible, credible voices in health journalism and public discourse. Participants will engage in interactive media training learning labs, including interview practice, message development, and social media strategies. Learn how to share your expertise effectively, shape public narratives, and become a go-to source for accurate, front-line health perspectives. This event has limited seating; early registration is encouraged.
