Hi everyone — have you listened to Nursing Australia’s Summer Series yet?For this special three-episode run, Suzanne Blackeby joins Matt as his summer co-host, and together they introduce us to the 2025 APNA Award winners.I’m going to start with our most recent release — episode three, out this Monday. Matt kicks things off with a very funny story involving a far too-tight wetsuit and dangling from a helicopter… before he and Suze wonder aloud whether they might be getting old and a little jaded.Then we meet Matthew Fox, the 2025 APNA Nurse Graduate of the Year. Matt is a fourth-generation nurse — but he didn’t start his nursing career until after a life-changing event in his twenties. His story is honest, moving, and quietly inspiring.Working backwards to episode two, Matt and Suze chat summer plans — including Suze’s new slushy machine, which she’s commandeered from her son — and Matt reveals his very intriguing past on a reality TV show in the jungle… stay tuned for the outro.But at the heart of episode two, we meet Bell Davis, winner of the Pursue Excellence Award. Bell is coordinating a groundbreaking new model for ADHD co-management — the first of its kind — promising to change how people with ADHD and neurodiversity can access diagnosis and ongoing care.And all the way back in episode one, Matt and Suze unpack the APNA Awards and introduce us to positive disrupter Hayley Hodgson — an advanced practice nurse and rural health innovator leading bold primary care models that improve access and strengthen care in rural communities.We hope you enjoy meeting all of our APNA Award winners in this special Summer Series and enjoy a few conversations with Matt and Suze. 🎓 Proudly brought to you by Southern Cross University (SCU).Click here to get in touch with Nursing Australia (send a text for free from anywhere in the world) #askusanything Hosted & Produced by: Matthew St Ledger & Leith Alexander Produced by: Leith Alexander & Matthew St Ledger
