Encouraging professional development
The NZNO Gastroenterology Nurses' College is committed to encouraging the professional development of Gastroenterology Nurses in New Zealand and the journal strives to reflect this.
The Tube includes reflections from NZgNC members about courses they have attended or conferences they found interesting. It also contains regular updates from the NZgNC specialty subgroups (IBD, hepatology and nurse endoscopy) to keep us all up-to-date with current research and best practice.
