The 3 finalists for the 2020 Health Minister's Award for Nursing Trailblazers have been announced, with a virtual ceremony to take place to announce the winner on the 23rd of November. More information of the ceremony and the finalists can be found on the ACN website or by clicking this link. For the next three episodes I will be joined by each of the finalists to not only discuss the initiatives that have gotten them recognised as a finalist for this award, but to also talk about their careers as nurses. In today's episode I am joined by Trailblazer Finalist - Shannon Wallis MACN. Shannon is the Nurse Unit Manager for MeCare, a virtual care service that provides in-home monitoring and video visits via the use technology. MeCare is the first of its kind in Australia. Shannon talks about her team and the incredible work they  and their partner Phillips Healthcare do for the care of over 200 patients with one or more chronic conditions within their health service - West Moreton Health.
