Other than prime ministers or presidents, few people can empathise with the pressure of acting on the behalf of 20 million people. But that is what Dr Isabelle Skinner has been elevated to do in her appointment as the chief executive officer of the International Council of Nursing (ICN). As a federation of more than 130 national nursing associations, including the Australian College of Nursing, Dr Skinner will soon represent more than 20 million nurses worldwide.

A man who allegedly punched and spat on a paramedic who was trying to help him has been charged by police. The 44-year-old male paramedic was called to help a man in Epping who had become unconscious after drinking excess quantities of alcohol. However, as the patient woke he allegedly became aggressive and abusive before spitting at the paramedics. After sedating the patient they were wheeling him on a stretcher to the ambulance when the patient lunged, punching one of the paramedics in the face. The punch also caused the stretcher to tip, prompting the paramedic to try to stop the man falling and injuring his own back in the process. Victoria Police also confirmed a man had been charged after he allegedly assaulted a paramedic in Epping last month.
