2026 Country Conference - Delegates

On behalf of VPNG, you are invited to join the Committee and perioperative nurses from across Victoria for a
day of high-quality professional education, connection and collaboration. The 2026 Country Conference will
feature engaging presentations from the broader perioperative and healthcare community, with a strong focus
on communication, patient safety and interdisciplinary practice.

The program will include evidence-based presentations showcasing contemporary research and quality
improvement initiatives aimed at enhancing perioperative patient outcomes across the entire perioperative
continuum. This exchange of knowledge provides a valuable opportunity to strengthen practice across
metropolitan, rural and regional settings. Importantly, the conference will also provide a platform for innovative
rural and regional projects to be shared with the wider perioperative community, recognising the essential
contribution of country clinicians.

The Country Conference also offers valuable networking opportunities for trade and industry partners to connect with perioperative nurses from across the state, and for clinicians to build professional relationships,
share experiences and strengthen collaboration across diverse practice settings. These connections support
ongoing innovation, education and excellence in perioperative care.

We would be delighted for you to join us for this important professional event and look forward to welcoming
you to Ballarat in 2026.
