This project is funded by the Canadian Institute of Health Research Catalyst Grant and is being conducted in collaboration with the University of British Columbia School of Nursing.
The purpose of this research is to develop clear, actionable, and evidence-based policy to shape nursing workforce transformation and practice-ready policy recommendations to establish a provincial CNS strategy for PHSA and implementation roadmap for BC Cancer. We will accomplish this through 3 phases.
Outputs from this research hold the potential to substantially impact policy, programs, and practices for CNSs at the provincial, national, and possibly international level.
The study team published the policy research brief titled “Informing policy to optimize the clinical nurse specialist workforce: Advancing the quadruple aim and health equity” in Policy Research for Health System Transformation in 2024.
The study team published the "Policy Recommendations for Optimizing the Clinical Nurse Specialist Workforce in British Columbia PDF" as part of the UBC Open Collections Library.
