Hono Mai, Hono Atu: Connecting Generations in Occupational Health

 

"Hono Mai, Hono Atu" can be translated as "Connect Here, Connect Beyond" or "Linking from One to Another." The phrase conveys the idea of connection and continuity between people, generations, or concepts.

 

In the context of your conference, "Hono Mai, Hono Atu: Connecting Generations in Health" means "Linking Generations in Health." It highlights the theme of past, present, and future, emphasising the importance of passing down knowledge and experience over time in the field of occupational health nursing.

 

The inspiration for this theme originated from the gap identified in the 2024 associations survey. We have more clinicians at the extremes in our association: <5 years vs. >30 years
