It is our pleasure to invite you to the 17th Annual Northeast Regional Nurse Practitioner Conference.
We are delighted to welcome our keynote speaker Thomas G. Bartol, NP, CDE. He will speak on “Managing Your Practice so that your practice doesn’t manage you: Technology, Work Flow and Self Care.” We face many challenges in providing high quality, personalized care to our patients. Sometimes the challenges can be overwhelming and take over our life so our practice is no longer fun or easy. Become more efficient more effective in your work by using creative ways to deal with technology, manage work flow, and to take care of yourself.
As always, the conference will provide a variety of workshops and clinical sessions led by a diverse faculty who are experts in clinical and professional issues. As part of the conference, we will once again host an evening reception Thursday May 6th at 6:00 pm. We welcome attendees to join us. The event will include recognition of nurse practitioners from Massachusetts and New Hampshire who have demonstrated excellence in professional practice. It will also provide an opportunity for networking and socializing. Please plan to attend your Nurse Practitioner State Association meeting during lunch on Thursday. If you do not belong to either organization, we welcome you to join us and learn about the benefits of becoming a member. By attending, you will become a part of the regional nurse practitioner history and help create a vision for the nurse practitioners of the future.
Please enjoy the many excellent sessions offered and take time to visit with friends and network with colleagues, old and new!
