Encouraging professional development
The NZNO Gastroenterology Nurses' College is committed to encouraging the professional development of Gastroenterology Nurses in New Zealand and the journal strives to reflect this.
The Tube includes reflections from NZgNC members about courses they have attended or conferences they found interesting. It also contains regular updates from the NZgNC specialty subgroups (IBD, hepatology and nurse endoscopy) to keep us all up-to-date with current research and best practice.

We welcome articles that will be of interest to nurses working in the fields of gastroenterology, related clinical practice, research and education. If there is an article submitted that is not linked to a NZgNC Education Grant, the author may be eligible for a $100.00 gift card to acknowledge the author's contribution towards the professional development of others. This will be at the discretion of the editor and committee. The article should still meet the requirements of the Tube writing guidelines.
