Clinical nurse specialists: A vital support for nursing and patient care
Andrea Visscher
Manager, Communications
As part of our vision to create an equitable, anti-racist, and culturally safe health system where everyone thrives, PHSA is innovating by reintroducing clinical nurse specialist (CNS) roles. This renewed attention on the CNS role has the potential to positively impact patients, enhance the nursing workforce and accelerate system transformation. National Clinical Nurse Specialist Recognition Week, observed this year from Sept. 1-7, provides an opportunity to celebrate and highlight the valuable contributions that CNSs make across our systems of care.
