On Nov. 23, 2021, the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) held its eighth invitational Nurse Practitioner (NP) Knowledge Exchange Virtual Symposium, titled "Powered by Change." This annual event offered RNAO's NP members a unique opportunity to discuss matters important to their critical role in Ontario’s health system.

The NP Knowledge Exchange Symposium's objectives were to:

• showcase a vibrant public education campaign spotlighting the role and capacity of NPs
• maximize the collaborative efforts and relationships among RNAO’s four mobilizing networks powering NP practice, education, policy, research and management to advance Vision for Tomorrow
• power NPs in relation to their role in informing health policy from the perspective of their practice expertise and experiences
• share and discuss how the clinical, policy and governance roles of NPs during COVID-19 are impacting the system and can power health transformation
• mobilize Ontario’s health transformation agenda incorporating opportunities and strategies to advance full NP supply, utilization, and scope expansion
• galvanize NP engagement on global and local initiatives impacting health transformation and the role of the NP
