Financial Assistance

The NASSF (WA) believes that nurses working in Day Procedure Facilities should be encouraged to further their professional development by undertaking relevant courses, educational projects and attending State and National Conferences. These activities should benefit both the individual and day surgery nursing in Western Australia.

History

In December 1993, the Day Surgery Special Interest group was formed by a group of nurses who attended the Inaugural Same Day Surgery conference in Perth.
The group agreed that a formal body with a common interest in Day Surgery was needed.
This occurred in 1996 when the Australian Day Surgery Nurses Association -ADSNA was formed with representatives from each Australian State.
1996 saw WA changed the name of their group to the current name. This was done to reflect the mixture of practice common in many of our day units.
