If you have a story to share – it might be something fantastic happening at your facility, a strategy, initiative or idea that’s going well where you are; maybe an enriching professional learning experience; or your reaction to a topical issue or even a highlight from your own or a colleague’s career — you’re in the right place.
Whatever it is, we’d love to hear about it and welcome pitches on all aged care-related issues and areas of interest.
