LEADERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE
Two fellows from Tonga attended the Pacific Leadership Program in 2025, and are being mentored by their Chief Nursing Officer (CNO), Sr Mele Filise. Through the program, their leadership skills were developed as they established the SPCNMOA Program country taskforce and identified key issues in Tonga that needed to be addressed.
In September, the PLP fellows organised a SPCNMOA Program in-country workshop, with 44 participants from the Ministry of Health (MoH), Tonga Nursing Board, Tonga Nurses Association, Tonga National University, hospitals and health clinics, other key partners, senior nurses and midwives and outer island province representatives from Ha’apai, Vava’u and ‘Eua. Workshop details are documented below in the brief.
REGULATION
A regulation webinar series was held between November 2024-February 2025, during which Vanuatu's regulatory status was established through the "traffic lights" approach after exploring regulatory frameworks. Following this, senior nurses and midwives also attended four additional webinars on Reigstration, Standards for Practice including codes of ethics and conduct, Accreditation, and Risk Management for public safety. Through the webinars, participants compiled baseline data, analysed data from the State of the World's Nursing Reports and Regional Quality Improvement Program (RQIP) reports, which were expanded upon during the SPCNMOA Program in-country workshop.
