These Best Practice Champions Competencies Focus Groups are sessions designed for nurses (i.e., nursing students, RNs, NPs, RPNs and advanced practice leaders) and other health-care providers (e.g., social workers, physiotherapists and PSWs) from all sectors who are champions or wish to become champions. The overall goal of this session is to share your experiences of being a champion in your workplace, perceptions of what you think makes an effective champion, and learning what champions need to lead change. 

During this presentation, participants will:

• share their experiences of being a champion in their workplace
• share what they think makes an effective champion
• identify what champions need to effect change

By attending one of these focus group sessions and sharing experiences in being a champion, participants will also contribute to the enhancement of the best practice champions training program and network, and ensure that new approaches are engaging, meaningful and user-focused.
