Advanced Emergency Nurse Network (AENN)

The AENN provides educational support and collaborative opportunities for emergency nurses.

The Emergency Nurses Core Curriculum for Advanced Nursing Practice (ENCAP) was developed in 2010, then moved under the umbrella of the College of Emergency Nurses in 2014.

About AENN Study Days

The AENN Study Days are held two or three times each year. In years when the biennial CENNZ Conference occurs, one Study Day is held at the Conference.

All Clinical Nurse Specialists and Nurse Practitioners working in New Zealand emergency departments are welcome - and encouraged - to attend.

The Study Days provide ongoing education and learning in a supportive environment, and opportunity for networking, collaboration, and sharing of experiences at a national level.

The content of the day is managed by the hosting region, and includes:

  • Presentation of literature reviews and critique of research articles
  • Presentation of case studies – highlighting clinical challenges
  • Formal sessions by clinical experts which combine a theoretical and practical component
  • Review / introduction of clinical guidelines.
