Keynote | Sue Tranka, Chief Nursing Officer for Wales | #GlobalCitizenship2021

We are delighted that Sue Tranka opened the second day of our conference which has an emphasis on the crucial role of nurses and midwives in Africa and in Wales. She took up her post as the Chief Nursing Officer for Wales in August and brings a wealth of experience. She was born, raised and trained in South Africa and she says her guiding principle remains that of “Ubuntu”, sometimes translated as “I am because we are” and is about believing in the common bonds within a group. She reflected on the role of nurses and midwives, as highlighted through the global Nursing Now! campaign, and in particular their potential for greater global citizenship in Wales.
