Members of RNAO’s assembly have long appreciated the opportunity to take part in the association’s Queen's Park Day (QPD). Given the current COVID-19 pandemic and rising case numbers in Ontario, the upcoming QPD meeting will be held virtually. This means we are opening registration to include ALL RNAO members for this virtual event.
The event will include presentations from Ontario's political party leaders and critics on issues such as long-term care, opioid overdose and health system transformation. The day will conclude with the release of the Vision for Tomorrow Report from the Nurse Practitioner Task Force and a panel discussion with NPs.
Additional information:
** Virtual meeting details will be sent prior to the event.
If you have any questions, please contact Policy Coordinator, Ann-Marie Morris at amorris@RNAO.ca.
