We want your views! Focus groups being held to review the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia branding and identity

30 Oct 2014

The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) has sponsored a comprehensive review of the recognition of the NMBA brand and identity as an independent yet interrelated entity with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

PricewaterhouseCoopers has partnered with an independent market research company, Colmar Brunton to conduct research aimed at getting better understanding of the NMBA’s role as seen by major stakeholders including nurses, midwives and consumers in general.

A number of focus groups have been organised to engage nurses, midwives and consumers in contributing to the research. This is a great opportunity for nurses and midwives and interested parties to provide the National Board with feedback and insight into the role of the NMBA.

Dates and Locations

• Face-to-face focus groups will be held in Melbourne, Perth and Launceston. The Perth and Launceston groups will run from 9:30am to 11:30am local time and morning tea will be provided. The Melbourne group will run from 4:00pm to 6:00pm local time and afternoon tea will be provided. 
• We will also be running online focus groups with the general public and with practitioners based in remote locations:

The dates and locations of the focus groups are as follows:

Online survey

For those who are unable to attend a focus group but would still like to provide feedback, we are running an online survey that will be available during January on the NMBA website. The survey questions will be very similar those which will be covered during the focus group sessions.
