Editor ’ s Report
Yvonne Little Nurse Practitioner
Welcome to the 2018 Spring Edition of LOGIC .
It ’ s hard to believe we are now well into our second year of providing an e-journal . Without the support of the following this would not have been possible , so I would like to say thank you to the LOGIC committee members for your efforts no matter what life has put in your way to get articles sourced , the National Executive and NZNO and last but not least the NZCPHCN membership whose input to improve the journal has been invaluable .
Our aims for the 2017-2018 year were :
1 . To increase reader coverage by providing more diverse articles to encompass those nursing groups within the NZCPHCN umbrella ( Public Health ; District ; Maori Health ; Aged Care ; Palliative Care ; School ; Occupational Health ; Mental Health ; Sexual Health ;
Respiratory : NGO Sector ; Plunket and Prison Nurses ) not solely Practice Nurses
2 . To celebrate and promote those in our ranks who have achieved in the leadership arena .
3 . To provide information and support through collegial sources
I believe our aims for 2018-2019 will be much the same .
Our Theme topics are planned to work alongside our regular reports from the Editor , Chair of NZCPHCN and Office of Chief Nurse . We have new regular / semi-regular sections to be more inclusive of our membership in : RN prescribing ; Rural Muster ; NZNO library section ; and updates on our NZCPHCN committee members as they change due to terms being completed or life changes .
We have also been receiving enquiries about placing advertisements in for research surveys and thus providing membership with access to have their input into this vital part of the health care sector . So , I hope you enjoy and become involved with some of these research and surveys .
In this issue we have a great selection of articles which we hope you enjoy . Our feature articles are around the e- learning and telehealth which are becoming more the norm in today ’ s fast paced world . I hope you enjoy checking these out . Unfortunately , some of our regular contributors have not been able to supply articles but we hope to bring these to you in the next issue .
Also , this time we do not have a report from Jill Clendon , from the Office of the Chief Nurse , as you can imagine she has had a busy time alongside NZNO with the DHB MECA amongst other important meetings .
Finally , as we have some committee members finishing
