Registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO): 1183282 Page **3** of **12** **ADNE Trustees’ Annual Report (Incorporating the Director’s Report) For the year ended 30th April 2022** ## **Chairs Report** Normality is starting to resume post COVID-19 and as such many new ways of working are developing. One of these changes was that our June 2022 Professional Development Conference ran as a blended event. We had 33 attending via zoom and 15 in the room. It has been agreed that going forward the June Professional Development Conference and AGM will continue as a blended event with the November Professional Development Conference remaining online. The timing of the November Professional Development Conference means that students from district nurse specialist practice qualification programs across the four countries can attend the event online. In November 2021 the event was attended online by 80 people. At the end of April 22 we had 117 members, 51 of these were District Nursing students who pay no fees to join us, this we believe offers them the opportunity to expand their learning which will impact on patient care in the community. Since the 2021 AGM we have increased the ADNE Executive membership. The extended executive includes a vice chair for each of the four countries of the UK. This has worked well with six weekly virtual executive meetings throughout the year. This ensured that ADNE is updated regarding the policy agenda across the four countries thus supporting the whole membership. For example, the June 2022 Professional Development Conference included speakers from all four countries of the UK. ADNE has been represented at several national meetings including the Nursing and Midwifery Council Post-Registration Standards review and the Queens Nursing Institute voluntary standards for Practice Teachers, ensuring the voice of educators is heard. In addition, ADNE is a member of the Stakeholder Advisory Panel of the National Community Nursing Plan for England. We maintain contact with the members by communicating regularly via email this enables us to disseminate information including details of consultations as well as education opportunities to members who are working full time. This further supports partnership working with a range of organisations including the Nursing and Midwifery Council, the Queens Nursing Institute and the NHS.
