ACTIVITIES
LEADERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE
Two fellows from Fiji attended the Pacific Leadership Program in 2025, and are being mentored by their Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer, Mrs. Colleen Wilson. Through the program, their leadership skills were developed as they established the SHWP country taskforce and identified key issues in Fiji that needed to be addressed.
In August, the PLP fellows organised a SHWP in-country workshop bringing together 53 participants from the from the Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MHMS), Central, Eastern, Western, Northern Health Divisions, Fiji Nursing Council, Fiji Nursing Association, the Pacific Community (SPC), Fiji National University (FNU), University of Fiji and Sangem College of Nursing, Health Care Education, WHO POLHN, and other key partners and stakeholders including senior and junior nurses and midwives. Workshop details are documented below in the brief.
Future works include supporting Fellows and the taskforce with ongoing in-country works.
REGULATION
A regulation webinar series was held between November 2024-February 2025, during which Fiji'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 SHWP in-country workshop.
The SHWP taskforce is responsible for prioritising and planning ongoing and future work to establish regional standards. Future works will include revising "traffic lights" data, and reviewing and developing registration and accreditation standards.
GEDSI
GEDSI baseline data hs yet to be gathered with future activities to raise awareness of GEDSI principles in the health workforce context.
