Standing Strong Addressing Bullying, Safety & Culture in Nursing
About this Event
And if you have found yourself saying.
“This isn’t how nursing should feel.”
Then this summit was created for you.
Standing Strong brings the conversations nurses are having quietly into the open — workplace bullying, horizontal violence, fear-based leadership, bias in promotion and recruitment, and burnout disguised as resilience.
This is not a vent session.
It’s a solutions-focused, professionally facilitated, action-driven day.
You’ll gain practical strategies to respond to bullying safely, build psychological safety, address bias with confidence, protect your wellbeing, and recognise healthy vs toxic culture.
Delivered by experienced nurses who understand frontline reality, this interactive summit includes workshops, real examples, a structured integration session, workbook and CPD certificate.
If you care about the future of nursing — this event matters.
