Future in Focus: National Nursing Week

This National Nursing Week, we are called to celebrate the invaluable contributions of nurses across Canada and beyond. It’s a time to honour the dedication, compassion, and expertise that nurses bring to their profession every day. But more than that, it is also a time to reflect on what we can be doing to future-proof our healthcare system. From improving support for nurses and increasing the talent pool for healthcare workers to ensuring research and technology innovation are guiding the way forward for Canada to become a global leader in healthcare solutions, there is a lot for us to prioritize in the coming years.

Our new Future in Focus on National Nursing Week looks into the following questions:

  • How can we innovate in healthcare to ensure better patient outcomes and support for nurses on the frontline?
  • What collective actions can be taken to address nursing shortages, improve working conditions, and enhance retention rates?
  • What is the government’s role in ensuring Canada can lead the world in a future-ready healthcare system?
  • What role will technology play in the future of healthcare?


Let’s come together to recognize the vital role of nurses in our healthcare system and to chart a course toward a healthier, more resilient future for all.
