For our 2019 event, we have a great guest speaker in Professor Kerry Reid-Searl.

Professor Kerry Reid-Searl has been involved in the CQUniversity undergraduate nursing program for the past 27 years. She is currently the Director of Simulation and relieving Dean in the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Sciences. Kerry is an Adjunct Professor at Monash University.
Her current simulation work is focused on patient safety and strategies for ‘the teacher in role’. In particular, she works with silicone humanistic props and has designed a unique modality in simulation called Mask-Ed (KRS Simulation). Mask-Ed stands for masking the educator, whilst KRS represents knowledgeable, realistic and spontaneous simulation. The technique is now gaining National and International reputation as reflected in her extensive invitations to present her work in Australia, New-Zealand, Japan, the USA and the UK. Kerry has also extended her work with puppets and has called the technique Pup-Ed (KRS Simulation).
She has been the recipient of extensive National Teaching Awards. She is the author and co-author of numerous nursing text books which are utilized by nursing students across Australian and New-Zealand. She has also been included in the Who’s Who of Australian Women for the past six years.

The Zonta Living Treasure Award and the Zonta Young Women in Public Affairs Award will also be presented to the worthy winners.

President Meredith Sutherland looks forward to welcoming guests to the event.
